10.17037/DATA.00003735
A quantitative dataset produced as part of a study to investigate uptake of and immunogenicity of COVID-19 vaccines in Uganda. Healthcare workers at the Entebbe, Kisubi and Villa Maria hospitals and individuals aged 50 years (older persons) and over in Wakiso and Kalungu districts were invited to take part in interviews to assess their knowledge and attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccines and uptake of COVID-19 vaccination. The older persons will be randomly selected from a list of participants in the Well-being of Older People Study (WOPS) project, an ongoing project under the MRC/UVRI and LSHTM Uganda Research Unit. Approximately 200 healthcare workers and older persons who accept vaccination were also invited to provide blood samples before and after vaccination.
Research data has been collected with a promise to protect the confidentiality of research participants. Limited access to fully anonymised data is permitted for the purpose of research verification, subject to access conditions being met.
Researchers interested in the data must apply for access, providing information on the research in which to use the data, the data variables they wish to access (listed below), and other relevant information to support their application. Applications will be assessed by the study team at MRC/UVRI and LSHTM Uganda Research Unit, in conjunction with external experts such as the research ethics representative.
If the proposed use is allowed under the research ethical conditions, the applicant will be required to sign a Data Transfer Agreement indicating their commitment to store the data securely and use it for the intended purpose only.
