Abstract Background The COVID-19 vaccination is essential for reducing disease burden on a worldwide scale. success of this strategy will largely depend how well vaccines are received. Previous reviews had produced contradictory results, and there been no umbrella review. Therefore, the objective review was to combine data regarding vaccination’s global acceptance rate its contributing factors. Methods Using PRISMA guideline, PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web Sciences, Cochrane Database Systematic Reviews, Scopus Google Scholar which reported vaccine and/or determinants were searched. quality included studies assessed using Assessment Multiple Reviews (AMSTAR). A weighted inverse variance random-effects model applied find pooled estimates. subgroup analysis, heterogeneity, publication bias sensitivity analysis also assessed. Result Twenty-two SRM with 10,433,306 study participants included. globally found be 60.23 (95% CI: 58.27, 62.18). In low-income countries, level 54.07(50.31, 57.83) while magnitude 64.32 (62.24,66.40) among across globe. Higher education (AOR =1.96; 95% CI:1.20, 2.73), good knowledge (2.20; CI:1.36, 3.03), favourable attitude =4.50; CI:2.89, 6.12), previous history infection =3.41; CI:1.77, 5.06), male sex =1.62; CI:1.47, 1.77), chronic =1.54; CI:1.18, 1.90) predictors acceptance. Conclusion highly varied unacceptably low particularly in countries. education, knowledge, attitude, COVID-19, sex, factors rate. collaborative effort stakeholders such as policymakers, campaign program planners needed improve vaccine.

Despite the unequivocal benefits of vaccination, vaccine coverage has been falling in several countries past few years. Studies suggest that hesitancy is an increasingly significant phenomenon affecting adherence to vaccines. More recently, during COVID-19 pandemic, political views have emerged as additional influencing factor for hesitancy.In this ecologic study, we used information from publicly available databases investigate association between ideology, depicted by percentage votes right-wing candidate Jair Bolsonaro presidential elections 2018 and 2022, vaccination Brazilian municipalities. The primary endpoint was index, calculated number doses administered up September 2022 divided inhabitants each municipality. analysis conducted using Pearson correlation coefficients linear regression models adjusted HDI, male voters, voters who were older than 50 years old, with a middle school education or less. In addition, explored whether effect on index modified different quartiles HDI interaction term.Five thousand five hundred sixty-three municipalities included analysis. For both elections, significantly inversely associated uptake after adjustment sociodemographic characteristics (change mean 1% increase -0.11, 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.13 -0.08, p < 0.001; change -0.09, CI -0.11 -0.07, 0.001).

Methods We searched MEDLINE, PSYINFO, CINHAL, Scopus and EMBASE databases other sources including free Google search subject‐specific journals from January 2020 to September 2021. The study population included adults (aged 18+ years) evaluated for COVID‐19 acceptance. A random effect meta‐analysis model was used estimate the pooled rate. Subgroup analyses were performed, factors associated hesitancy underwent narrative analysis. Of 558 initial records, 14 studies eligible review. Results overall rate adult PLHIV 62% (95% confidence interval [CI], 56%–69%). In subgroup analysis, estimated higher in high‐income countries: 63% CI, 55%–70%) versus 54%–71%) low‐ middle‐income countries, conducted 2022 (66% [95% 58%–75%]) than 2021 (57% 47%–68%]). Reasons lower monthly income, being non‐homosexual, history of chronic disease, COVID‐19‐related medical mistrust, not knowing anyone who died COVID‐19, believing oneself be immune general refusal, negative attitude vaccine, concerns about efficacy, safety side effects, distrust common vaccine‐related information using social media as a source on COVID‐19. Conclusion Among PLHIV, is generally low. greater emphasis collaborative efforts between all concerned bodies needed boost this population.
