dc.description.abstract	Background: A worldwide coronavirus disease-19 pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. The uptake of coronavirus disease-19 vaccines appears to be critical to the successful containment of the coronavirus disease-19 pandemic. However, such studies are limited to Ethiopia. Thus, current study was focused on community to identify factors that can service to support community attitude, intention, knowledge, and environment constraints of receiving COVID-19 vaccine. Objective: to assess intention to receive coronavirus disease-19 vaccine and associated factors among community in Motta town, North West Ethiopia, 2022. Methods: A Community based cross-sectional study was carried out on systematically selected random 630 individual households from May 15 to June 15, 2022. Data was collected by using interviewer administered questionnaires. Data was cleaned, coded and entered in to Epi-data version 3.1 and exported to SPSS version 21 for further analysis. Descriptive statistics were computed to describe the frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation of the variables. Variables having a p-value< 0.25 were selected using simple linear regression analysis and were entered into multiple linear regression analysis. Multiple linear regressions were done to predict the association between independent and dependent variables. In the final model, a confidence interval (95%) and a p-value < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. The internal reliability of the items was also checked using Cronbach’s alpha. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was performed to checked validity of the measurement. Result: Three hundred ten (49.2%) with 95% CI: 45.2, 53.0% of respondents were intended to receive COVID-19 vaccine. The mean score of intention to receive COVID-19 vaccine was 12.38 with SD±5.300. Religion (Muslim) (β=0.862, P<0.004), educational status (no formal education) (β= -1.065, P<0.029), and primary school education (β= -0.879, P<0.038), attitude (β=0.170, P<0.000), subjective norm (β=0.027, P<0,001) and perceived behavioral control (β=0.029, P<0.004) were significant factors associated with intention to receive COVID-19 vaccine. Conclusion: This study revealed that, intended to receive COVID-19 vaccine among community was low. Religion, educational status, attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control were significant factors associated with intention to receive COVID-19 vaccine. Therefore intervention should focus on these factors for intention to receive COVID-19 vaccine. Key word: Intention to receive COVID-19 vaccine, theory of planned behavior, Motta community	en_US
