| Summary: | Background:
A number of strategies were used to stop the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic. The most promising method for saving people against the pandemic proved to be vaccination.
Aims and Objectives:
The current study aims to determine and examine the factors influencing the intentions for COVID-19 vaccine uptake in the Indian population.
Materials and Methods:
Accordingly, a survey was performed to obtain information regarding attitude and intentions on vaccination against COVID-19, knowledge on vaccination against SARS-CoV-2, e-health literacy. Using Smart PLS version 4, structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data.
Results and Conclusion:
E-health literacy indirectly caused variance in COVID-19 vaccine intentions, whereas knowledge and attitude (β =0.685) and health self-efficacy (β =0.673) directly influenced COVID-19 vaccine intentions. |
