Abstract: Background: Vaccine hesitancy has become the focus of growing concern and attention worldwide, despite overwhelming evidence of the importance of vaccines. Research shows that vaccine hesitancy is rising, resulting in alarming figures on disease outbreaks reported globally. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the approaches for increasing acceptability and voluntary uptake of the Covid-19 vaccine in the Bamenda Health District, North-West Region of Cameroon. Methods: The research was a cross-sectional study design. A multistage sampling method was used where data was collected at a point in time. Data was collected from the multistage sampling of the 13 health areas of the Bamenda Health District of the North-West Region. All community inhabitants who were aged from 17 - 80 years old in the 13 health areas of the Bamenda Health District who gave their consent were included in the study. The main instrument was an interview guide, to gather information such as knowledge and perception of covid-19, vaccines, and vaccination. Data was analyzed using SPSS and results were presented on tables and charts. Result: Many of the community participants feel that vaccination against covid-19 is a good idea (57.5%), but fear safety concerns. The majority liked to take vaccines (54.3%), but 41.3% (P<0.001) refused that they would not like to take vaccines. Conclusion: The clear and transparent communication of COVID-19 vaccines’ risks and benefits is an approach to increasing vaccine uptake among the public, a means of maintaining public trust in science, and as an ethical imperative
