| Impact statement: This large-scale nationwide study in Bangladesh, involving 7,357 participants, identifies that nearly 65% of the adult population is willing to accept the COVID-19 vaccine, a figure that remains below the coverage required for herd immunity. It reveals that individuals with higher education (graduates are 80% more likely to accept), higher income, and those residing in rural areas show a greater likelihood of vaccination. Crucially, while 76% of people are willing to take the vaccine if recommended by the Government, significant barriers remain, including fear of side effects (77.6% of the hesitant group) and the cost of vaccination (only 25% of the hesitant group would pay). These findings serve as a critical guide for policymakers to initiate evidence-based mass media campaigns and ensure free vaccine access to achieve the national immunization targets necessary to eradicate the virus. | Collaboration: Other | Keywords: COVID-19, Vaccine, Acceptance, Hesitancy, Bangladesh |
