The data collected interviewee administered pre-tested structured survey questioner. entered cleaned using Epi-Data software 4.6 version. analyzed SPSS. 25.0 Statical software. Descriptive statistics like frequency, mean percentage, binary logistic regression applied identify independent predictors association declared p-value 0.05. Result overall magnitude 15.2% (95% CI: 11.6–18.7). top three listed reasons for were: negative information about (32.90%), lack enough (21.80%), safety concern (19.40%). vaccination uptake diabetes independently influenced age 40–49 (Adjusted Odd Ratio [AOR] = 4.52(1.04–19.66)), having awareness (AOR 0.029(0.001–0.86)), a great deal trust development 0.028(0.002–0.52)), fear amount 0.05(0.003–0.79)) preparation, vaccinated 0.13(0.04–0.51)), perceived exposure infection after as strongly agree/agree 0.03(0.01–0.17))and neither agree nor disagree 0.07(0.02–0.30)).

Background People with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are at increased risk of poor outcomes from COVID-19. Vaccination can improve outcomes, but vaccine hesitancy remains a major challenge. We examined factors influencing COVID-19 uptake among people T2D in two sub-Saharan Africa countries that adopted different national approaches to combat COVID-19, Kenya and Tanzania. Methods A mixed-methods study was conducted February-March 2022, involving survey 1000 adults (500 Kenya; 500 Tanzania) 51 in-depth interviews (21 30 Tanzania). Determinants were identified using multivariate logistic regression model, while thematic content analysis explored barriers facilitators. Results lower Tanzania (26%) than (75%), which may reflect an initial political about vaccines college/university education four times more likely be vaccinated those no (Kenya AOR=4.25 (95% CI 1.00 18.03), AOR=4.07 (1.03 16.12)); health insurance almost twice as without AOR=1.70 (1.07 2.70), AOR=1.81 (1.04 3.13)). Vaccine higher older Kenya, comorbidities socioeconomic status Interviewees reported wanting protection severe illness promoted uptake, conflicting information, misinformation fear side-effects limited uptake.
