Background and Objective: The success of the vaccination process depends on coverage and acceptance of the vaccine. In order to promote high vaccine coverage, it is essential to study population’s perceptions of vaccines and correct any misinformation. The present study was conducted to explain the social experience of participants in Phase III of the Pastocovac coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine.
Methods: The present qualitative study was conducted using conventional content analysis. The cases were among the participants in Phase III of the clinical trial for the Pastocovac COVID-19 vaccine, residing in the city of Babol, Northern Iran. Purposive sampling was used for data collection. After completing a written consent form, semi-structured interviews were conducted, and the data were saturated with 13 interviews.
Findings: The analysis of the 13 recorded interviews regarding the experience of the participants yielded 155 codes, 59 sub-categories, 8 categories, and 4 themes, including “social learning”, “desire to survive”, “patriotism”, and “challenges of participation”. The present study showed that despite numerous challenges regarding vaccination participation, social learning, the desire to survive, and patriotism motivated people to participate.
Conclusion: The findings showed that social learning, the desire to survive, and patriotism motivated the participants to receive the vaccine. |
