Abstract: The COVID-19 (SARS-Cov-2) pandemic has emerged in Wuhan city, China and spread globally. Despite Government lockdown process in India the number of infected people increases day by day. The only way to curb this pandemic is vaccination but still people are reluctant to receive COVID-19 vaccine. Hence online survey-based study was conducted to know Indians perception towards vaccination and reason behind their hesitancy. The online questionnaire in Google form has been circulated among people through Email and WhatsApp. 272 responses were included for analysis. The collected data were analysed by SPSS version 26 using t test and ANOVA by considering p value of less than 0.05 as significant. The study reveals that among participants 60% have good knowledge about COVID-19 and major source of information received from News (n=140), Social media (n=131) and Government website (n=101). The 58.8% among participants are willing to take vaccine and major reason behind hesitancy towards vaccine is side effect and safety concern. Focused intervention programmes and awareness campaign development will be essential by utilising social media and news channels. Govt. official needed to release newsletter through their website about safety and efficacy of vaccine to remove hesitancy among people.
