COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and hesitancy in Cameroon: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The development of effective vaccines was a promising tool for ending the pandemic. However, the success of a vaccination programme hinges on achieving substantial community acceptance. In Cameroon, numerous studies have investigated the level of acceptance, hesitancy, and perception of COVID-19 vaccines, with mixed results.
