Overview

Cross-sectional survey assesses vaccination adherence and barriers in non-healthcare workers during Hajj, indicating a need for better policies.

Key Points

  • The aim is to assess vaccination adherence and identify barriers among non-healthcare workers and volunteers during the Hajj.
  • Cross-sectional survey conducted among 68 non-healthcare workers and volunteers during the 2024 Hajj season.
  • Structured self-administered online questionnaire used to gather data on vaccination status and perceived barriers.
  • Exploratory findings due to small sample size.
  • Low uptake of meningococcal (16.2%) and pneumococcal (14.7%) vaccines, moderate adherence to influenza (50.0%), and higher COVID-19 vaccination coverage (70.6%).
  • Knowledge level significantly predicted vaccination uptake (p < 0.05).
  • Barriers included lack of awareness, misconceptions about side effects, and limited access to vaccination services.
