Abstract
REAL DELOR, Raúl et al. Acceptance, rejection and hesitancy to receive the vaccine against COVID-19: a multicenter study. An. Fac. Cienc. Méd. (Asunción) [online]. 2023, vol.56, n.1, pp.25-31. ISSN 1816-8949. https://doi.org/10.18004/anales/2023.056.01.25.
Objectives:
To determine the predisposition to receive this vaccine against SARS-CoV-2.
Materials and methods:
An observational cross-sectional design was applied in the adult population of Paraguay between May and October 2022. The previously validated questionnaire of Kotta et al was applied, which was disseminated through social networks.
Results:
303 respondents were included, with a mean age of 34 ± 12 years and predominance of the female sex (64.0%). In the sample, 51.8% suffered from COVID-19 and 97.3% have already received at least one dose of the vaccine. It was detected that 58.4% accepted the vaccine, 17.8% hesitated to receive it and 23.7% rejected it. Acceptance was more frequent in males (p 0.05).
Conclusion:
At the epidemiological moment of universal availability of the vaccine and with subjects still affected by COVID-19, rejection of it was 23.7%.
