Why is it important?

We hypothesized that knowledge on COVID-19 vaccines and their acceptability would be influenced by respondents’ gender, education, occupation, and residence status (urban vs rural). We anticipated that findings of this study would provide useful information, which health officials may consider for achieving the expected level of COVID-19 immunization in the country.

Perspectives

This study was conducted across Bangladesh following both online and face-to-face interviews.
