Overview

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus, which has developed the global pandemic situation. The promotion of vaccination is an effective strategy to control the epidemic. A total of 19,5738,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been reported in China until August 24th, 2021. During widespread vaccination, the education in COVID-19 prevention and vaccination for residents are also crucial. To figure out the influence of education during waiting time of vaccination, we have designed a randomized controlled trial and planned to distribute leaflets and questionnaires to the residents of Xidian (a town in Ninghai, Zhejiang). This study is of great significance for the prevention of COVID-19 pandemic.
