5. Conclusions
In conclusion, despite the vast majority of our sample expressing
favourable opinions regarding COVID-19 vaccination, the uncertainty
about the safety and efficacy of vaccines, the issue of timing and the
adoption of a new development technology and the effect of these
perceptions on the vaccine COVID-19 acceptance suggests the need to
develop targeted strategies to increase effective communication about
the risks and benefits of COVID-19 vaccines. These strategies should
focus on strengthening the relationship between healthcare workers and
the population, and on the search for alternative strategies to provide
adequate information to the population, in order to contribute to the
maintenance of high levels of vaccination coverage.
