Emerging evidence suggests that hesitancy to COVID\u201019 vaccination varies globally. Qatar has a unique population with around 90% of the population being economic migrants, and the degree and determinants of hesitancy are not known.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study was carried out to evaluate the degree of vaccine hesitancy and its socio\u2010demographic and attitudinal determinants across a representative sample. A national cross\u2010sectional study using validated hesitancy measurement tool was carried out from October 15, 2020, to November 15, 2020. A total of 7821 adults completed the survey. Relevant socio\u2010demographic data along with attitudes and beliefs around COVID\u201019 vaccination were collected from the respondents.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>20.2% of the respondents stated they would not take the vaccine and 19.8% reported being unsure about taking the prospective COVID\u201019 vaccine. Citizens and females were more likely to be vaccine hesitators than immigrants and males, respectively. Concerns around the safety of COVID\u201019 vaccine and its longer\u2010term side effects were the main concerns cited. Personal research around COVID\u201019 and vaccine were by far the most preferred methods that would increase confidence in accepting the vaccine across all demographic groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study reports an overall vaccine hesitancy of 20% toward the COVID\u201019 vaccine and the influence of social media on attitudes toward vaccination which is in keeping with emerging evidence. This finding comes at a time that is close to the start of mass immunization and reports from a migrant\u2010majority population highlighting important socio\u2010demographic determinants around vaccine hesitancy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/irv.12847","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,20]],"date-time":"2021-02-20T17:59:44Z","timestamp":1613843984000},"page":"361-370","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":147,"title":["COVID\u201019 vaccine hesitancy and attitudes in Qatar: A national cross\u2010sectional survey of a migrant\u2010majority population"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Majid","family":"Alabdulla","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hamad Medical Corporation Doha Qatar"},{"name":"College of Medicine Qatar University Doha Qatar"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0801-4653","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shuja Mohd","family":"Reagu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hamad Medical Corporation Doha Qatar"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdullatif","family":"Al\u2010Khal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hamad Medical Corporation Doha Qatar"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marwa","family":"Elzain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hamad Medical Corporation Doha Qatar"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roland M.","family":"Jones","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Addiction and Mental Health and University of Toronto Toronto ON Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","unstructured":"https:\/\/www.who.int\/director\u2010general\/speeches\/detail\/who\u2010director\u2010general\u2010s\u2010opening\u2010remarks\u2010at\u2010the\u2010media\u2010briefing\u2010on\u2010covid\u201019.
