Factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in Senegal: a mixed study

Abstract: Introduction: The most effective way to control the COVID-19 pandemic in the long term is through vaccination. Two of the important components that can hinder it are vaccine hesitancy and vaccine refusal. This study, conducted before the arrival of the vaccines in Senegal, aims to assess and identify factors associated with hesitancy to the COVID-19 vaccine. Methods: This study was an explanatory, sequential, mixed-methods design. We collected quantitative data from December 24, 2020, to January 16, 2021, and … Show more

“…Whereas some argue that mobile phones can be useful to communicate with harder-to-reach subgroups, 13 others assert that the most marginalised, including those without a stable signal or any form of telephone, are often excluded from research. 30 55 56 There are several methods to make research more inclusive. For instance, thanks to the low price of phones, when investigating or attempting to include the most disadvantaged or people without telephones in rural areas, researchers can distribute affordable cell phones to the selected respondents 5 although this solution requires ethical, technical and financial consideration.…”

“…4,16,27 The root cause of vaccine hesitancy could not be precisely defined due to the variety of root causes and mechanisms, even though many studies have analyzed the probable mechanisms of the phenomenon. [28][29][30][31] However, the foundation of vaccine hesitancy lies under the progressive situation of the phenomenon, and therefore, it may depend on a particular period, place, and even types of vaccine. 32 Among high-income countries, vaccine hesitancy has been reported, for example, due to safety concerns.…”

“…As highlighted in some studies, it is important to consider who are included in and excluded from telephone surveys. Whereas some argue that mobile phones can be useful to communicate with harder-to-reach sub-groups [9], others assert that the most marginalized, including those without a stable signal or any form of telephone, are often excluded from research [26][27][28]. There are several methods to make research more inclusive.…”

“…Recruitment of multilingual locals and training of interviewers can facilitate building rapport and trust between operators and informants. Among the included studies, the biggest number of languages spoken by interviewers was 6 in 3 studies in Senegal [21,22,28]. Coupled with cultural and linguistic appreciation and proficiency, more personal and direct communication between interviewers and informants in IATS can contribute to minimizing miscommunication and misunderstanding.…”
