This study aimed to assess the differences in attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccination between secondary school teachers and outpatient physicians. The findings showed that outpatient physicians were more likely to be vaccinated against COVID-19, with the strongest motivation being the prevention of transmission in their professional setting. On the other hand, teachers expressed a greater concern for protecting their family members and showed more hesitancy towards vaccine safety.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in attitudes towards vaccination against COVID-19 among secondary school teachers and outpatient physicians. A cross-sectional study was realised using anonymous questionnaires. The EPI Info 7 program and R software, version 4.0.2 were used for statistical analysis. The questionnaire was completed by 868 respondents (teaching staff N = 451; outpatient physician N = 417). The number of employees vaccinated against COVID-19 was 742 (85.5%). The number of those vaccinated against COVID-19 and influenza (last season) was 192 (21.9%). The statistically significant predictors were the level of fear of COVID-19 (OR 1.40; 95% CI 1.29-1.52), profession-outpatient physicians (OR 2.56; 95% CI 1.55-4.23), history of COVID-19 (OR 0.34; 95% CI 0.22-0.54), gender (OR 0.55; 95% CI 0.33-0.89) and influenza vaccination at any time in the past (OR 3.52; 95% CI 1.10-11.31). The strongest motivation for vaccination against COVID-19 among physicians was the prevention of the spread of COVID-19 during the performance of their profession (N = 336; 87%); among teachers, it was the protection of family members (N = 258; 73%). The most common reason for vaccine hesitancy was concern about vaccine safety (N = 80; 63.5%).
