Dataset Information

Dataset of vaccination and confidence in the Malaysian government during Covid-19 pandemic.

ABSTRACT: The online poll collected a data set on the confidence sentiments of Malaysians on the following three major areas with their respective events related to the Covid-19 pandemic. Foremost, the survey gathered the data of the respondents on their vaccination registration, and confidence on the efficacy of the available vaccines, respectively. In addition, the respondents were asked of their confidence of an economic recovery with the availability of the vaccines, the government in managing the Covid-19 pandemic, and an economic recovery for the country, respectively. Furthermore, the respondents were asked of their likelihood to exercise their voter's rights before and after herd immunity. The convenience sampling was applied between March and April 2021 and participated by 1,136 respondents. The confidence levels were measured on a Likert-scale of 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest). The mean values were considerably high indicating healthy confidence levels of Malaysians on all the events described. The socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents were also collected. Near 60 percent of Malaysians had registered for the vaccination programme. All the events showed weak significant correlations between them. The correlations between the events and socio-demographic characteristics were analysed and the results showed no correlations between the events and ethnicity, and gender respectively. Although the data of the poll is limited, they can be used as a reference point for researchers, and data review for the future generations to understand the events during the Covid-19 pandemic in Malaysia.

Project description:Faced with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the development of COVID-19 vaccines has been progressing at an unprecedented rate. This study aimed to evaluate the acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination in China and give suggestions for vaccination strategies and immunization programs accordingly. In March 2020, an anonymous cross-sectional survey was conducted online among Chinese adults. The questionnaire collected socio-demographic characteristics, risk perception, the impact of COVID-19, attitudes, acceptance and attribute preferences of vaccines against COVID-19 during the pandemic. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify the influencing factors of vaccination acceptance. Of the 2058 participants surveyed, 1879 (91.3%) stated that they would accept COVID-19 vaccination after the vaccine becomes available, among whom 980 (52.2%) wanted to get vaccinated as soon as possible, while others (47.8%) would delay the vaccination until the vaccine's safety was confirmed. Participants preferred a routine immunization schedule (49.4%) to emergency vaccination (9.0%) or either of them (41.6%). Logistic regression showed that being male, being married, perceiving a high risk of infection, being vaccinated against influenza in the past season, believing in the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccination or valuing doctor's recommendations could increase the probability of accepting COVID-19 vaccination as soon as possible, while having confirmed or suspected cases in local areas, valuing vaccination convenience or vaccine price in decision-making could hinder participants from immediate vaccination. During the pandemic period, a strong demand for and high acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination has been shown among the Chinese population, while concerns about vaccine safety may hinder the promotion of vaccine uptake. To expand vaccination coverage, immunization programs should be designed to remove barriers in terms of vaccine price and vaccination convenience, and health education and communication from authoritative sources are important ways to alleviate public concerns about vaccine safety.
