“…Data were coded using the constructs from Sekhon’s theoretical framework on acceptability.Results Acceptability of the R21/Matrix-M vaccine was driven mainly by the high burden of malaria in the highly seasonal study area and consequent demand for a malaria vaccine, a perceived high efficacy of the R21/Matrix-M vaccine, and a high level of trust and confidence in the trial and trial team. These perceptions of the acceptability of the R21/Matrix-M vaccine led to a reduced perceived importance of seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) among some caregivers, while others viewed R21/Matrix-M, SMC and insecticide-treated nets as complementary.Conclusions The R21/Matrix-M vaccine was acceptable to caregivers and communities of participants in the R21/Matrix-M phase III trial in Mali. …”
