The study was aimed to demonstrate KAPs on a binational level to observe KAPs in two populations towards the virus and vaccine post-lockdown phase and to analyse the association of their socio-demographic characteristics with their KAPs. Of the 530 participants, 213 were reported to have previously encountered a COVID-19 infection and 317 have not.
