Mean age was 24.66 ± 6.503 of which 61.5% were males. 86.9% of them were not vaccinated. 57.7% of respondents had inadequate knowledge about the COVID-19 vaccine, and 61.5% had negative attitudes towards it. 63.8% of adults demonstrated an unwillingness to be vaccinated. Participants' sociodemographic characteristics profiles were significantly associated with COVID-19 vaccine knowledge, attitude and willingness to uptake it (p < 0.05). Findings highlight the need for large-scale interventions to address the low uptake vaccine. Adults' willingness to get a coronavirus vaccine was comparatively low. Sociodemographic profiles, knowledge and attitude were associated significantly with low uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine among adults in Tanzania.
