The study's objective was to ascertain the general public's attitudes regarding the covid-19 vaccine in Pakistan. A cross sectional design and e-survey was conducted by 1647 general public. The sample was divided into two sections: urban (702) and rural (945). The majority of participants were between the ages of 18 and 45. The urban participants believe it is safe. Those who live in large cities and have a college degree or above have a positive attitude towards vaccines and do not find any religious reason not to be vaccinated. Individuals from rural areas seem to be skeptical of getting vaccines and they refuse to receive them. Individuals with little education, little information, and a low annual income express a strong mistrust of the vaccine's benefits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
