Factors influencing COVID-19 vaccination uptake among community members in Hong Kong: a cross-sectional online survey.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Vaccination is recognised as the most effective approach to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in the long run. However, the global vaccination uptake is still suboptimal.
