Description
Mohamed Zahir Alimohamed and co-authors survey views on COVID-19 vaccines at a hospital in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, in a 2024 paper. Uptake lagged in many places due to false claims and personal beliefs. The team asked patients about their knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of the shots.
More than fifteen hundred people took part, and nearly all had heard of the vaccines. Still, about half had low knowledge, and roughly three in ten held negative views. Where people got their facts, such as social media or neighbors, shaped their views strongly. People seeking care rather than shots scored worse on knowledge. Readers get targets for campaigns that fix facts and use trusted channels.
