Summary: The development of safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines provides hope for ending the pandemic, but insufficient vaccination rates contribute to disease spread. Political views play a critical role in vaccination decisions, with counties in the U.S. with a high percentage of Republican voters showing significantly lower vaccination rates and higher COVID-19 cases and deaths per 100,000 residents. Rebuilding trust in science and health professionals is essential to overcoming political divisions and increasing vaccination rates.

Summary: This study aims to assess the willingness and concerns of radiographers to undergo COVID-19 vaccination and provide recommendations to improve vaccine uptake. The study found that the majority of radiographers were willing to have the vaccine, but some had concerns about its efficacy, side effects, and its effects on the Ghanaian race. Clinical safety concerns, lack of education/information, and religious beliefs also affected their willingness to be vaccinated. Urgent public health educational intervention is needed to address these concerns and increase vaccine uptake.

Summary: This study examines the behavior of the case fatality rate (CFR) in a population with vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. The results show that the CFR is influenced by both the effectiveness of vaccines and the detection of breakthrough infections. Therefore, a decline in the CFR does not necessarily indicate the effectiveness of vaccines in reducing deaths, and a constant CFR can still mean that vaccines are effective.

This study aimed to assess the factors influencing awareness, perception, and willingness to receive the vaccine among Nigerian adults. The results showed a high level of awareness and willingness to receive the vaccine, but concerns about the short production period were common.

Summary: This study reviewed COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rate and reasons for non-acceptance/hesitancy among Health Care Workers (HCWs) in Africa. The results showed generally low acceptance of the vaccine among HCWs across Africa. The major reasons for hesitancy were the side effects of the vaccine, vaccine's safety, efficacy and effectiveness, short duration of the clinical trials, COVID-19 infections, limited information, and social trust.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the level of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and its associated factors in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The results showed that about one-fifth of the participants were not willing to get vaccinated. Vaccine hesitancy was significantly associated with being female, having negative attitude towards COVID-19 and its preventive measures, and primary information source being social media. Participants predominantly stated that they did not have enough information about the vaccine, feared it would not be effective or have too many side effects, and reflected their uncertainty towards the quality of the vaccine.

Summary: Disparities in COVID-19 vaccine coverage across the globe have revealed inequalities in global healthcare. While more than half of the population in developed countries have been fully vaccinated, only a small percentage of the African population has received even a single dose, significantly falling short of global vaccination targets. Additionally, many low and middle income African countries lack the capacity, infrastructure, logistics, and financial resources for mass vaccination efforts. This paper focuses on the causes and implications of low COVID-19 vaccine coverage in Africa and the global community, as well as discusses strategies for restructuring and strengthening COVID-19 vaccination in Africa.

Summary: Vaccine hesitancy is a global health threat that presents a major barrier to the successful rollout of COVID-19 vaccination. In South Africa, less than half of adults are fully vaccinated, and this research identifies factors such as race, vaccine literacy, trust in the government, flu vaccination status, and risk perception for COVID-19 as key influencers on vaccine uptake. Building trust in the government's ability to effectively and safely roll out vaccination is crucial, along with providing reliable and easily understandable information about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines.

The survey identified concerns about side effects, lack of access to online registration platform, distrust of government, belief in conspiracy theories, no monthly income, and dependence on others for vaccination decision as independent predictors of vaccine hesitancy. These factors should be addressed through tailored communication and effective strategies to improve vaccine literacy, reach low-income households, and foster confidence in the government.

Summary: A study in Greece found that all vaccines currently in use, including BNT162b2, mRNA-1273, and ChAdOx1 nCov-19, have a very high effectiveness against severe disease and death from COVID-19, with Ad26.COV2.S having slightly lower effectiveness. The effectiveness of the vaccines decreases over time but remains above 80% at 6 months, and three doses increase effectiveness to nearly 100%. Vaccination prevented nearly 20,000 COVID-19 deaths during the study period.

Summary: Trust and willingness to take the COVID-19 vaccine are high among the priority population in Ghana. Trust in the effectiveness and safety of the vaccine, rather than socioeconomic characteristics, is a better predictor of acceptance. Mistrust in political actors, belief in God's protection, and misunderstanding of vaccine development processes hinder acceptance, while professional influence and past successes of vaccination programs enhance trust and acceptance. Strategic communication approaches should be used to address triggers of mistrust and enhance trust.
