However, the acceptance of vaccination is a major obstacle. Clinical tests conducted in a short and limited time frame have raised concerns about the product's validity. Previous research has shown the significance of attitudes towards vaccination behaviours.

A purposive sampling method is employed in an online, cross-sectional study with a self-administered questionnaire to 411 social networking site users, aged 18 and older, who are vaccinated and knowledgeable about the COVID-19 vaccine. The data was analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26 and Hayes Process Macro version 4.1.
