 The effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccine campaigns depends on more than just the efficacy and safety of the vaccine. Vaccine acceptance among the general public and healthcare workers plays a crucial role in controlling the pandemic. This review provides an up-to-date assessment of COVID-19 vaccination acceptance rates worldwide, based on 31 peer-reviewed studies from 33 different countries. Among adults representing the general public, the highest acceptance rates were found in Ecuador, 97%, Malaysia, 94.3%, Indonesia, 93.3%, and China, 91.3%. The lowest rates were found in Kuwait, 23.6%, Jordan, 28.4%, Italy, 53.7%, Russia, 54.9%, Poland, 56.3%, US, 56.9%, and France, 58.9%. Only eight surveys among healthcare workers were found, with acceptance rates ranging from 27.7% in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to 78.1% in Israel. In the majority of survey studies among the general public stratified per country, the acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination showed a level of greater than or equal to 70%. Low rates of acceptance were reported in the Middle East, Russia, Africa, and several European countries. Addressing vaccine hesitancy in these regions is recommended as an initial step for building trust in COVID-19 vaccination efforts. This article was authored by Malik Salam.
