AHRI.COVID-19 vaccine uptake, confidence and hesitancy in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa between April 2021 and April 2022:a subset of the individual population-wide surveillance system annual interview

This dataset is a subset of the wider population-based Covid-19 surveillance run at the Africa Health Research Institute from 2020 onwards. The dataset covers one complete year of data collection, such that all residents had the opportunity to participate. The dataset specifically provides all observations and variables needed to replicate the analyses described in the journal article “COVID-19 vaccine uptake, confidence and hesitancy in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa between April 2021 and April 2022: a continuous cross-sectional surveillance study” published in PLOS Global Public Health in 2023. The dataset includes variable on Covid vaccine uptake and willingness to take a hypothetical vaccine offer on the day of interview, as well as variables measuring four groups of potential predictors of these vaccine outcomes: demographics (age, sex), pre-existing conditions (information sources, government trust, education, urbanicity), contextual factors (impact of Covid on household economics and community wellbeing, Covid-related stigma, household age composition) and cues to action (recent case counts in KwaZulu-Natal, concern about impact if infected with Covid, knowledge of others with past Covid infection, household vaccination status, depression/anxiety) and interview date.
