Abstract
Objective

Vaccination is one of the most important measures that the world is relying on to end the COVID-19 pandemic. A number of vaccines have been authorized; however, there are several differences in the available vaccines which may lead to differences in public hesitancy levels toward each vaccine. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the young Jordanian population's acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine, their knowledge, and attitudes toward different vaccine types, and to explore the variables that could influence their preferences.

Material and methods

An online questionnaire was distributed via Jordanian multipurpose Facebook groups. COVID-19 knowledge, and practice scores were calculated, in addition to general and specific COVID-19 vaccine knowledge scores. Repeated measures analysis was conducted to investigate the association between the participants’ knowledge about each vaccine and their willingness to take it. Quantile regressions were conducted to determine the predictors of the participants’ willingness to take each vaccine.

Results

A total of 1897 participants completed the survey. One fifth of the participants (19.9%) were willing to take the COVID-19 vaccine. The acceptance of Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine and the knowledge about it were significantly different from all the other vaccines. Predictors of acceptance of the different vaccines were sex, estimation of the severity of the disease, COVID-19 knowledge score, practice score, and specific vaccine knowledge score.

Conclusion

The young Jordanian adults had limited acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine. Differences in the participants’ acceptance of different vaccines were observed and specific vaccine knowledge was a significant predictor of acceptance of the vaccine.

Resumen
Objetivo

La vacunación es una de las medidas más importantes en la que el mundo se basa para acabar con la pandemia de la COVID-19. Varias vacunas han sido autorizadas para ser usadas; sin embargo, existen diferencias en las vacunas disponibles que pueden dar lugar a diferencias en los niveles de vacilación del público para ponerse cada una. Por lo tanto, este estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar la aceptación de la población joven jordana de la vacuna COVID-19, su conocimiento y actitudes hacia los diferentes tipos de vacunas, y variables que pueden influir sus preferencias.

Material y métodos

En enero de 2021 se distribuyó un cuestionario en línea por vía de grupos jordanos usuarios de Facebook. Se calculó la puntuación de conocimiento de COVID-19, la puntuación de práctica y las puntuaciones de conocimiento de vacunas específicas. Se realizaron repetidos análisis de medidas para investigar las diferencias entre el conocimiento de los participantes acerca de cada vacuna y la voluntad para ponerse cada vacuna. Se realizaron regresiones cuantílicas para determinar los predictores de la disposición de los participantes a recibir la vacuna.

Resultados

Completaron la encuesta 1.897 participantes. El 19,9% estuvo dispuesto a recibir la vacuna frente a COVID-19. La aceptación de la vacuna Pfizer/BioNTech y el conocimiento acerca de ella estaban significativamente diferenciados de todas las otras vacunas. Los factores predictivos de la aceptación de las diferentes vacunas fueron el sexo, la estimación de la gravedad de la enfermedad, la puntuación sobre el conocimiento de COVID-19, la puntuación sobre la práctica y la puntuación sobre el conocimiento de las vacunas específicas.

Conclusión

Los jóvenes adultos jordanos tuvieron aceptación limitada de la vacuna de COVID-19. Se observaron diferencias en los participantes en cuanto a la aceptación de diferentes vacunas, y el conocimiento de las vacunas específicas fue un factor predictivo significativo en cuanto a su aceptación.
