Popis: Background: The Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a contagious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). From October, 2021 onwards many countries were experiencing a further occurrence of SARS-CoV-2 infections despite of successful vaccination campaigns. This situation has been suggested to be caused by the greater infectiousness of the delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, and by progressively decreasing immunity as time passes from earlier vaccination. In view of the current occurrence, several countries are planning to administer a third precautionary dose of COVID-19 vaccine. Since the critical care nurses are more vulnerable for COVID, we studied the precautionary COVID vaccination related side effects among them. Subjects and Methods: This A cross-sectional study was conducted among 75 critical care nurses who had received covishield vaccine. The survey included a total of 13 questions and was divided into 2 parts. The first part dealt with demographic data and second part with questions related to study. Results: 75 critical care nurses participated in the study voluntarily.
