| description | Introduction: Since, the emergence of Coronavirus Disease-
2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, there has been an intense
burden on the health system and economy worldwide with
millions of people being affected leading to several deaths.
In this scenario vaccination seems to be a hope to control
the pandemic. However, fear of adverse events following
immunisation sometimes makes people hesitant about
vaccination.
Aim: To assess the spectrum of post vaccination symptoms
and also to identify the motivational factors along with their
determinants at a tertiary care hospital, West Bengal, India.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted
in the COVID-19 Vaccination Centre at Nil Ratan Sircar Medical
College and Hospital, Kolkata West Bengal, India (tertiary care
hospital), from August to November 2021. A total of 448 vaccinated
beneficiaries were enrolled in the study. Data collection was
done by an online questionnaire, sent to the participants in their
registered mobile numbers. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square
tests were used for data analysis.
Results: Among 448 study participants, 262 (58.5%) were in 18-
44 years of age group, 248 (55.4%) female, 384 (85.7%) Hindu,
132 (29.5%) medical or paramedical students, 290 (64.7%)
passed graduation and above and 306 (68.3%) belonged
to nuclear family. About 228 (50.9%) beneficiaries reported
post vaccination symptoms. Most common being local pain
at injection site, found among 150 (65.8%) out of them. Most
common motivational factors of COVID-19 vaccination were
found to be fear of COVID-19 infection, reported by 274 (61.2%)
participants, which showed significant difference with various age
groups (p-value=0.001), religions (p-value=0.030), occupations
(p-value<0.001) and educations (p-value=0.002). Statistical
significant (p<0.05) differences were also found according to age,
gender, co-morbidities, interval between vaccination and past
COVID-19 infection and type of COVID-19 vaccine in relation to
onset of post vaccination symptoms.
Conclusion: Following COVID-19 immunisation minor adverse
events were reported. Monitoring of those adverse events
will help in further responding and prompt action. Also, the
knowledge about motivational factors is expected to reduce
vaccine hesitancy among unvaccinated people. |
