<p>Of the 420 students, 238 (56.7%) had received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine, 232 (55.2%) were fully vaccinated, and 174 (73.1%) received a booster dose. Majority of those who received a vaccine (92%, 220/238) experienced AEFIs, with pain at the injection site (45.9%) and general body weakness (33.2%) being the most common. The school attended by students (aOR=0.29, 95% CI 0.16 – 0.55), adherence to social distancing (aOR=2.06, 95% CI 1.11 – 3.83), students’ attitudes (aOR=1.07, 95% CI 1.01-1.14), and perceived barriers (aOR=0.94, 95% CI 0.89 - 0.98) towards COVID-19 vaccination were significant determinants of vaccine uptake.</p>
