1. Introduction

The hesitation towards vaccination with the COVID-19 vaccine remains a

problem worldwide. Lack of clinical trials for the vaccine, fear of vaccine
side effects, and rumors of the presence of active viruses in vaccines are
some leading obstacles that obstruct the success of the COVID-19 vaccine
campaign. Vaccine hesitancy is a major obstacle in the face of the COVID-
19 vaccination programs.1

As the lockdown is not possible for some countries because it disrupts

economic conditions, vaccination may be the way to limit the pandemic
infection. Due to poor knowledge between populations about types of
vaccine, its dosing recommendations, and the poor commitment to
hygiene practices, the national and international health organizations are
organizing campaigns to increase the public awareness level about the
COVID-19 vaccines.2, 3 The vaccination program campaigns include
advertisements on social media and television to increase the population's
awareness of COVID-19 vaccines and show the importance of public
vaccination to limit the spread of coronavirus infections.1

At the beginning of the availability of the vaccine doses, there was little
vaccination program campaign coverage, providing the opportunity to
study the public awareness with COVID-19 vaccines. But now, there is
more coverage and an increase in public awareness.4, 5 This study aimed
to evaluate the public awareness, attitudes, and practices regarding the
COVID-19 vaccines.
