Peer Review of “Willingness to Pay for the COVID-19 Vaccine and Its Correlates in Bangladesh: Cross-Sectional Study”

Peer Review of “Willingness to Pay for the COVID-19 Vaccine and Its Correlates in Bangladesh: Cross-Sectional Study”

This paper [1] addresses an important and timely topic—willingness to pay for COVID-19 vaccines in a developing country context. Understanding willingness to pay is essential not only for informing current vaccine financing strategies but also for shaping policies related to equitable vaccine access in response to future public health challenges. The study is well-conceived and provides valuable insights into vaccine affordability and public perception in Bangladesh.

Peer Review of “Willingness to Pay for the COVID-19 Vaccine and Its Correlates in Bangladesh: Cross-Sectional Study”

This paper [1] examines willingness to pay (WTP) for COVID-19 vaccines in Bangladesh using a cross-sectional survey. The integration of the health belief model and theory of planned behavior adds a theoretical foundation to the analysis. The study is well-structured, and the use of hierarchical logistic regression strengthens its analytical rigor. However, several issues need to be addressed before acceptance.

Willingness to Pay for the COVID-19 Vaccine and Its Correlates in Bangladesh: Cross-Sectional Study

To combat the vulnerability caused by COVID-19, the Government of Bangladesh (Go B) launched its largest vaccination program, providing vaccines free of charge. However, sustaining this free vaccination program is challenging [13] for a resource-poor country with a large population, such as Bangladesh.

Leveraging Canadian Health Care Worker Volunteers to Address COVID-19 Vaccine Misinformation on Facebook: Qualitative Program Evaluation Study

Leveraging Canadian Health Care Worker Volunteers to Address COVID-19 Vaccine Misinformation on Facebook: Qualitative Program Evaluation Study

Despite vaccines being widely recognized as a key public health intervention, individuals’ vaccination decisions have been influenced by factors such as concerns about vaccine safety and efficacy, complacency or a low perceived risk of illness, and the inconvenience of accessing vaccination services [5].

Assessing Community and Social Media Influence to Increase Influenza Vaccine Uptake among Youth in Soweto, South Africa (The Bambisana Study): Protocol for a Mixed Methods Pretest-Posttest Intervention Study

Assessing Community and Social Media Influence to Increase Influenza Vaccine Uptake among Youth in Soweto, South Africa (The Bambisana Study): Protocol for a Mixed Methods Pretest-Posttest Intervention Study

Despite the demonstrated effectiveness of vaccines in significantly reducing morbidity and mortality of affected individuals, youth are less proactive in health care–seeking behaviors due to low-risk perception and are not necessarily encouraged to vaccinate for influenza and other infectious diseases [9,21-23]. For COVID-19, youth were not initially prioritized for vaccination rollout, yet they might have been in contact with vulnerable populations [24,25].

Exploring Topics, Emotions, and Sentiments in Health Organization Posts and Public Responses on Instagram: Content Analysis

For example, an analysis of Twitter data was conducted by Niu et al [24] to examine public opinion and sentiment before and during the administration of the COVID-19 vaccines in Japan. They found that negative sentiment toward the vaccines dominated positive sentiment in Japan, and concerns about side effects may have outweighed fears of infection at the beginning of the vaccination process.

Feasibility, Acceptability, and Effectiveness of a Smartphone App to Increase Pretransplant Vaccine Rates: Usability Study

Feasibility, Acceptability, and Effectiveness of a Smartphone App to Increase Pretransplant Vaccine Rates: Usability Study

Pretransplant vaccines are an important strategy to decrease the risk of VPIs posttransplant. Unfortunately, despite intensive medical management in the pretransplant period, less than 20% of pediatric liver transplant recipients have received all age-appropriate vaccines by the time of transplant [6].

SARS-CoV-2 Infection Risk by Vaccine Doses and Prior Infections Over 24 Months: ProHEpiC-19 Longitudinal Study

However, they did not specifically address the relative severity of reinfections versus primary infections in the early period of the pandemic, before vaccines became available [18]. Addressing this question requires the application of extended Cox models that allow the analysis of correlated recurrent events. The Andersen-Gill (AG) model assumes a common baseline hazard function, meaning that the baseline risk remains the same for each event (eg, the first, second, or third infection).
