Meanwhile, CFA data collection; a cross-sectional study was conducted to confirm Knowledge and Attitude (pKAC19) validation. During phase 1, face and content validity were performed; meanwhile, during phase 2, EFA and CFA were performed in two locations with larger sample sizes. Six expert panels were involved in content validity after the items for knowledge and attitude and COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy were evaluated.
