Introduction:
One of the most important strategies to control COVID-19 pandemic is vaccination. Effective vaccination coverage is necessary to control this pandemic. Therefore, in this study we investigated acceptance of COVID-19 vaccine and associated factors among Iranian population.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study conducted through Pors Line in South Khorasan Province of Iran. 1043 people participated in this study. Results were analyzed with SPSS software version 13.
Results:
85.2% of the participants wanted to receive the vaccine. Vaccine acceptance was higher in participants that were over 41 years old. Moreover, rate of vaccine acceptance was higher in men than women. Major concern about vaccination was fear of its side effects. Vaccine acceptance increased with increasing education level.
Conclusion:
Results of this study showed that one of the most important reasons for vaccine rejection is the fear of vaccine side effects.

Factors Affecting Protein-Drug Binding: Drug-Related Factors
One crucial factor in drug-protein binding is the drug's lipophilicity or its affinity for fat. More lipophilic drugs tend to have higher binding extents. For example, highly lipophilic drugs like cloxacillin exhibit substantial protein binding, with as much as 95% of the drug binding to proteins. In...
