ABSTRACT
Several Coronaviruses have caused serious problems in humans. In early March, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that the Corona Virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global pandemic. COVID-19 is a new strain of coronavirus and scientists are still collecting information and conducting research on the virus. Vaccination is the most effective strategy to protect the population from COVID-19 infection and several vaccines have been approved against the disease globally. But, the knowledge and attitude towards COVID-19 vaccination among general community people are very poorly understood. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the knowledge and attitude towards COVID-19 vaccination among selected community people in West Bengal and it is observed that 66.75% people had moderate knowledge and 98.25% people had high attitude towards COVID-19 vaccination.
Keywords: Corona Virus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Vaccination, Knowledge and Attitude, community people.
