Abstract

Vaccines against COVID-19 are made with different prices, effectiveness and side effects. This study aims to determine the willingness to pay for a COVID-19 vaccine in Vietnam during the fourth wave of COVID-19. The online study included 2093 unvaccinated subjects aged 18 years and over. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify factors related to willingness to pay for vaccination. Research results show that the proportion of subjects had willingness to pay for Astra Zeneca vaccine; Sputnik V; Pfizer-BioNTech was 69.6% respectively; 70.0%; 67.8%. There was a relationship between occupational factors, household income, history of allergies, job change due to COVID-19 and willingness to pay to use Astra Zeneca vaccine; between occupation, household economy, job change and willingness to pay for Sputnik V vaccine and between occupation, household economics, chronic illness, history of allergies, job change, risk of infection with HIV willingness to pay to use the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine (p < 0.05).
