Abstract
The present chapter aims to investigate the occurrence of COVID-19 vaccine administration patterns in Europe for effective vaccination and booster shot scheduling towards COVID-19 pandemic control. Method: Data were obtained from the ECDC on COVID-19 vaccination radar on 5th March 2021 and processed for statistical analysis with IBM's SPSS version 21. Statistically, a significant difference was considered at p less than 0.05. Results: The authors observed statistically significant lower vaccine uptake compared to delivered doses (average at 62.678 ± 3.928%). Uptake for Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccines (50.927 ± 4.626%) compared to Pfizer-Biontech vaccine (86.285 +/- 2.1052%) was observed compared to previous prospective study on the wiliness to receive COVID-19 vaccine in the region (75%). Conclusion: The early COVID-19 acceptance pattern based on vaccine type or manufacturer was observed. The findings will be useful for policymakers to introduce policies on educational campaigns to enhance vaccine and booster uptake for smooth and effective control of the pandemic.
