These efforts included offering vaccines in community centres and places of worship, involving community and faith leaders to build trust among communities, delivering information in different languages and offering gift vouchers. Community members had a complex mixture of reasons for accepting or not accepting the vaccine. Reasons for not accepting the vaccine included a lack of trust in vaccine effectiveness and what were perceived as coercive measures by the state.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The initiatives were perceived to be broadly successful in promoting COVID-19 vaccine uptake, however there were no precise measures of success or failure of individual components.
