The Nature and Extent of COVID-19 Vaccination Hesitancy in Healthcare Workers

Nirbachita Biswas et al.

Summary: COVID-19 vaccines have been approved for public use globally, but studies show healthcare workers globally exhibit vaccine hesitancy due to concerns about safety, efficacy, and side effects. Males, older individuals, and those with doctoral degrees (i.e., physicians) are more likely to accept vaccines, and factors like perceived risk, patient care involvement, and influenza vaccination history increase vaccine uptake likelihood. Strategies to improve communication, education, and mandates for clinical workers are crucial to address the high prevalence of vaccine hesitancy in healthcare workers. Healthcare workers play a key role in pandemic mitigation, serving as role models for preventive behaviors and facilitating vaccination efforts.
