Abstract

Since its emergence in early December 2019 in Wuhan, (Hubei province, China), the virus causing a new form of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) called COVID-19 has mobilized the scientific world. However, there is a low adherence to the vaccination campaign, especially in Mali. The objective of this study was to study the perception of socio-health personnel in the Ansongo health district on COVID-19. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study carried out from July to December 2021. A total of 95 socio-health personnel were surveyed, 65% of socio-health personnel had received at least the first dose of a vaccine against COVID-19.

In the study population, 92.6% knew the vaccine in use in Mali, 25% did not believe in the existence of COVID-19, while 16.8% of them did not trust the vaccine. In view of these results, the Ministry of Health should strengthen awareness campaigns and work closely with community and religious leaders to encourage adherence to the COVID-19 vaccination campaign.
