COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and its enablers would shape community uptake of non-covid vaccines such as oral cholera (OCV) in the post-COVID-19 era. This study assessed impact drivers on OCV a endemic region Democratic Republic Congo. We conducted community-based survey Bukavu. The included characteristics, intention to take COVID-19, reasons for hesitancy, thinking feeling about vaccines. Poisson regression analyses were performed. Of 1708 respondents, 84.66% 77.57% hesitant alone both respectively. Hesitancy rose by 12% (crude Prevalence Ratio, [cPR]=1.12, 95%CI[1.03-1.21]). Independent predictors living semi-urban area (adjusted Ratio [aPR]=1.10, 95%CI[1.03-1.12]), religious refusal (aPR=1.06, 95%CI[1.02-1.12]), concerns safety (aPR=1.05, 95%CI[1.01-1.11]) adverse effects 95%CI[1.01-1.12]), well poor knowledge (aPR=1.07, 95%CI[1.01-1.14]). Conversely, belief effectiveness reduced (aPR=0.76, 95%CI[0.62-0.93]). exhibiting significant domino effect uptake. Addressing through health literacy interventions likely improve introduction novel non-COVID-19
