Abstract: (546 Views)
Background: Vaccine hesitancy is a significant global issue. This study aims to explore the barriers that prevent Turkmen people from receiving their third or subsequent doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Methods: In this qualitative content analysis study, 35 Turkmen residents of Gonbad-e-Kavous, located in northern Iran, participated in semi-structured phone interviews. These interviews took place in August and September 2022 and focused on individuals who had not received their third or subsequent doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Results: The analysis identified five key factors that hindered individuals from receiving their COVID-19 vaccine booster shots: 1. perceived risk, 2. inaccurate rumors and beliefs, 3. negative experiences with the COVID-19 vaccine, 4. concerns about vaccine effectiveness, and 5. personal freedom considerations.
Conclusion: To enhance public acceptance of booster vaccines, healthcare policymakers must take action to build public trust in vaccines and offer documented, scientific responses to address inaccurate rumors and beliefs.
