Abstract

We report general acceptance (79.0%) of Ebola vaccination in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) between 2023-2024 (n=5,062). Acceptance varied significantly by province with acceptance ranging from 47.6% in Kongo Central to 92.1% in Tshuapa province and was highest among healthcare workers. While Ebola vaccine acceptance and disease knowledge are relatively strong nationally in the DRC, regional differences do exist and may impact future vaccine rollout.
