Factor Affecting COVID-19 Vaccines Acceptance A Literatur Review

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic is spreading quickly worldwide and becoming a global problem. Vaccines have proven to be one effective way to overcome this pandemic. Various studies have been carried out. The COVID-19 vaccine was finally found and became one of the programs promoted by the governments of several countries to gain group immunity and reduce the severity of COVID-19 infections. Many factors influence an individual's acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine. This study aims to review several factors affecting COVID-19 vaccines acceptance. This study was conducted in a literature review, which describes and discusses it by taking materials from various available literature in the Wiley online library, ClinicalKey, ProQuest, and EBSCO databases based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. There were twelve relevant pieces of literature, which came from various countries. Factor affecting COVID-19 vaccines acceptances were individual characteristics (age, level of education, employed, income, gender, profession, race, chronic disease), factors related to COVID-19 (perceived severity of COVID-19, worry/fear regarding COVID-19, COVID-19 knowledge, testing negative for COVID-19, believe COVID-19 exist, having a close relative/friend ever infected by COVID-19), factors related to vaccine (vaccines experience before, attitude towards the vaccine, belief vaccine is safe, willing to pay for vaccine, risk perception of vaccine), and other factors  (social media  use, personal medical advice, the perception is that the government's prevalence and death rate reports are real, and conspiracy belief).
