ABSTRACT
Objectives:
This study is aimed to investigate the COVID-19 vaccine acceptancy among public, along with measuring the underlining role played by the made-in-china perception and vaccination effectiveness towards vaccination acceptance.

Material and methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted that relied upon convenient and purposive sampling. Data was collected through online survey method predominantly in top-tier cities of Pakistan during the initial vaccination phase. The data was analyzed through 2-stage approach by employing Structural Equation Modeling in smart PLS 3.0.

Results:
The results confirm the validity and reliability of data that was evaluated through VIF scores, HTMT ratio, CR, Cronbach’s alpha, and AVE. The outcomes indicate that vaccine effectiveness and made in china perception significantly affect the vaccination acceptance whereas, corona fear accelerates vaccination acceptance.

Conclusions:
This study stabs to figure out the role of a stereotypical belief about made-in-china vaccination and its acceptance in country. The study proves that negative perception about country of origin negatively influence the vaccination acceptance. This negative perception should be focused on vaccination campaign. Moreover, study results revealed that perceived vaccination effectiveness significantly influence the acceptance. Therefore, it is important to build appositive perception of vaccination through campaign, a clear and source full communication is needed from government about vaccination effectiveness and need to discuss the level of its effectiveness, success rate to minimize the negative influence of made in china perception.
