| Popis: | OBJECTIVE: Vaccine hesitancy limits population protection from SARS-CoV (coronavirus disease [COVID-19]). Vaccine hesitancy among healthcare workers (HCW) could put patients and coworkers at risk. METHODS: We surveyed 475 emergency department and emergency medical service workers from January to February 2021 to determine vaccine intent/uptake, perceived COVID-19 vulnerability, and factors associated with vaccine intent/uptake. RESULTS: Although 79% of HCWs received or had plans to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, 21% had no intent/were unvaccinated; intent/uptake was lower among females (odds ratio [OR]â=â0.34) and those with a history of COVID-19 infection (ORâ=â0.55), and higher among those with advanced degrees (ORâ=â3.53) and high perceived COVID-19 vulnerability (ORâ=â1.99). CONCLUSIONS: This study provides a timely assessment of vaccination status among frontline HCWs and highlights subgroups who may be at high risk of exposure and transmission. |
