Abstract
COVID‐19 pandemic caused significant mortality and morbidity locally and globally. Vaccines were introduced as the most effective medical countermeasure against severe morbidity, hospitalization, and death. However, vaccine uptake remains suboptimal in many countries in Sub‐Saharan Africa. This study assessed uptake of COVID‐19 vaccines and intention to vaccinate and associated factors in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
