摘要

目的:2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)疫苗是摆脱疫情的关键。然而,自疫苗推出以来,人们对疫苗的接受程度受到虚假信息和谣言的影响,这些信息和谣言使人们无法接种疫苗。材料和方法:本研究旨在调查非洲对COVID-19疫苗的各种误解。我们进行了一项在线调查,使用匿名问卷,通过社交媒体和所有可能的在线平台,如Facebook、WhatsApp、Instagram、Twitter、YouTube等,接触到非洲的受访者。基于网络的关于疫苗神话的调查问卷是从非科学信息、未经证实的陈述、社交媒体帖子、新闻报道以及人们对COVID-19疫苗安全性的担忧中提取的。参与者表明了他们对每个陈述的同意程度。结果:共有2500人对非洲的在线调查做出了回应。受访者认同的两个常见误区是“既然已经开发出了COVID-19疫苗,我们就可以生产普通感冒、人类免疫缺陷病毒和其他疾病的疫苗”(n=892, 35.7%)和“研究人员匆忙开发了COVID-19疫苗;因此,它不是很有效,不安全,不能信任”(n=595, 23.8%)。12.4%-33.0%的受访者既不同意也不反对这些说法。大多数人(1931人,77.2%)不同意“接种新冠病毒疫苗后,可以不戴口罩,也可以采取安全措施”的说法。结论:围绕COVID-19疫苗的误解影响了人们的接受程度。探索这些问题有助于非洲的公共卫生当局消除它们,并提供准确的信息,以促进疫苗接种运动、教育和接受。

Exploring the myths surrounding the COVID-19 vaccines in Africa: the study to investigate their impacts on acceptance using online survey and social media.

Purpose: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine is the key to getting out of the pandemic. However, acceptance of the vaccine has been affected by false information and rumors, which have kept people from getting the shot since it was rolled out.

Materials and methods: This study aimed to investigate the various misconceptions surfaced about the COVID-19 vaccines in Africa. We performed an online survey using an anonymous questionnaire to reach out to African respondents by social media and all possible online platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and so forth. The web-based questionnaires about the myths surrounding the vaccines were extracted from nonscientific information, unproven statements, social media posts, news reports, and people's concerns about the safety of the COVID-19 vaccines. Participants indicated their level of agreement with each statement.

Results: A total of 2,500 people responded to the online survey in Africa. The two common myths that respondents agreed with were that "since vaccines for COVID-19 have been developed, we can make vaccines for the common cold, human immunodeficiency viruses, and other diseases" (n=892, 35.7%) and that "researchers rushed the development of the COVID-19 vaccines; therefore, it is not very effective, safe and cannot be trusted" (n=595, 23.8%). The range of respondents who neither agreed nor disagreed with these myths was 12.4%-33.0%. The majority (1,931, 77.2%) indicated disagreement with the statement "after getting the COVID-19 vaccine, one can stop wearing a mask as well as taking safety precautions."

Conclusion: Myths surrounding the COVID-19 vaccines have impact on acceptance. Exploring them helps public health authorities in Africa dispel them and provide accurate information to promote vaccination campaigns, education, and acceptance.

期刊介绍: Clin Exp Vaccine Res, the official English journal of the Korean Vaccine Society, is an international, peer reviewed, and open-access journal. It covers all areas related to vaccines and vaccination. Clin Exp Vaccine Res publishes editorials, review articles, special articles, original articles, case reports, brief communications, and correspondences covering a wide range of clinical and experimental subjects including vaccines and vaccination for human and animals against infectious diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites and tumor. The scope of the journal is to disseminate information that may contribute to elaborate vaccine development and vaccination strategies targeting infectious diseases and tumors in human and animals. Relevant topics range from experimental approaches to (pre)clinical trials for the vaccine research based on, but not limited to, basic laboratory, translational, and (pre)clinical investigations, epidemiology of infectious diseases and progression of all aspects in the health related issues. It is published printed and open accessed online issues (https://ecevr.org) two times per year in 31 January and 31 July.
