Addressing the global challenge of vaccine hesitancy, amplified during COVID-19 pandemic due to misinformation propagated via social media, necessitates innovative health communication strategies. This investigation scrutinizes efficacy Short, Animated, Story-based (SAS) videos in fostering knowledge, behavioral intent, and engagement around vaccination. We conducted an online three-arm parallel randomized controlled trial (RCT) involving 792 adult participants (≥18 years, English-speaking) from United States. The intervention group viewed a SAS video on vaccination, attention placebo control watched hope, received no intervention. Our primary objectives were assess influence regarding Participants displayed significantly higher mean knowledge scores (20.6, 95 % CI: 20.3-20.9) compared both (18.8, 18.5-19.1, P < .001) groups (18.7, 18.4-19.0, .001). However, did not notably affect intent. Perception as significant threat emerged strong predictor for engaging with post-trial without further incentives (OR: 0.44; 0.2-0.96). 35-44 age exhibited highest (P = .006), whereas right-wing political inclination negatively associated 1.98; 3.9-1.01).

Localisation of vaccine production is essential worldwide, but it particularly crucial for Africa. This continent more vulnerable to disease burdens and also lags behind other continents regarding access vaccines. Moreover, many people in Africa have a long-standing apathy towards locally made products services. mindset raises the question whether Africans will support African-made vaccines what associated reasons are. Guided by theories nationalism import substitution industrialisation, we formulated tested eight hypotheses. To answer these, analysed survey data from 6,731 residents backed key informant interviews Ghana. Our findings identified three types local consumers: Afrocentric-ethnocentrics, Apathetic-Afrocentrics Afrocentric-Fence Sitters. Four out hypothesised factors explain why some individuals positive attitude vaccines, compared those who are unsure their stance.

Multiple national and international studies of college student COVID-19 vaccination have been recently published, providing important descriptive information a conceptual basis to inform future decisions about infectious disease prevention in higher education settings. Yet almost no research has examined Native American-Serving Nontribal Institutions (NASNTIs), which occupy unique space US terms structure students served. To address that gap, this report describes results from two-wave cross-sectional survey administered at NASNTI Durango, Colorado, as part larger study campus response.
