Why is it important?
We addressed very important issues regarding COVID-19 uptake among adults aged 18 years and older in terms of knowledge, attitude, and intention to practice COVID-19 vaccine uptake. It also addressed SDG number 3, indicating good health and well-being through thorough, curative, and preventive measures to assure the well-being of the community and to increase life expectancy using prophylaxis and vaccination.
Perspectives
This study recommends the strengthening and establishment of a COVID-19 vaccine education programme at the community level to easily reach adults, health facilities, and the community in general to catalyse its uptake. Initiatives such as home visits, phone calls, and/or community-based visits may be encouraged and given priority to strengthening follow-ups with adults and the community at their homes to assure the uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine.
