Abstract

A cross-sectional web-based study was conducted from May 15, 2021 to June 16, 2021. The study participants included 1902 Vietnamese teachers, between 18 and 59 years old. The objective of the study was to determine the rate and some factors associated with acceptance of COVID-19 vaccine among Vietnamese teachers. Results: 85.9% of the participants accepted vaccination; 69.1% confirmed their willingness to pay for vaccination. Some factors as age, being a secondary school teacher, marital status, post-graduate education, and chronic diseases are the related factors to their vaccination acceptance; no difference was found between city and countryside, between male and female teachers, between Kinh and other ethnic groups in terms of their acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination.
