| Summary, etc. | Abstract:<br/><br/>Background: COVID-19 is a contagious disease caused by coronavirus named SARS-CoV-2. The virus originates from animal host (zoonotic origin) followed by human-to-human transmission though direct, indirect (through contaminated objects or surfaces) or close contact with infected people via mouth and nose secretions (saliva, respiratory secretions or secretion droplets). Preventing development of severe form of Covid-19 such as severe pneumonia, viral sepsis, kidney failure, cytokine release syndrome, respiratory failure and pulmonary fibrosis preventive measure are offered such as vaccination and others like face mask, social distancing and hand washing which offer a protection from acquiring infection. The study aims on understanding the barriers, attitude and uptake rate of Covid-19 vaccination which aid on providing appropriate data for appropriate interventions which ultimately increase vaccination uptake among CUHAS university students and reducing their risk of acquisition of SARS-COV 2.<br/><br/>Objective: To assess barriers, uptake of and attitude toward covid-19 vaccination among Catholic University of Health and Allied Science medical students in Mwanza.<br/><br/>Methodology: It is a cross-sectional survey study, conducted from September to December 2022, which recruited all Catholic University of Health and Allied Science medical students who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled into the study and a questionnaire was administered in English, the questionnaire focused on collecting information based on their attitude towards, barriers they face and their uptake of covid-19 vaccination. The study data were collected, recorded and analyzed using a computer program SPSS version 20.<br/><br/>Results: The study shows majority age between 18 to 30 years (91.6%), of these 59 (35.5%) were males and 107 (64.5%) were females. Also, most students had high barriers with unwillingness to vaccinate and are contributed by discouragement from peers and relatives and majority of them 147 (88.6%) had poor attitude on covid-19 vaccination.<br/><br/>Conclusion: The study shows substantially large number of students with high barrier, poor uptake rate as well as poor attitude toward covid-19 vaccination. With most students 84.9% not vaccinated, and more than a half 52.4% not having intention to vaccinate which all contribute to poor uptake rate of covid-19 vaccination among medical student at CUHAS. <br/> |
