Abstract

BACKGROUND

The second wave of Novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2) is proving more disastrous than the first because of the new mutant stains. Under these circumstances, vaccination is the only effective solution that can save millions of lives across the globe.

OBJECTIVES

The present study was conducted to assess the attitude and acceptance/willingness of health care professionals (medical and dental) towards COVID-19 vaccine.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

An online questionnaire survey was conducted among medical and dental professionals working in different hospitals of two states of India. A total of 520 subjects constituted the final sample size. A self-constructed questionnaire (divided into 2 parts) containing 12 questions was administered to obtain information from the subjects regarding their attitude and willingness towards COVID 19 vaccine. Statistical analysis was done using chi-square test and multiple liner regression analysis. Odds ratio with 95% CI were also generated. Statistical significance was set at p≤0.05.

RESULTS

Majority of the subjects (67% of dental and 73% of medical) had full confidence on the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccine. Willingness to get vaccinated was shown by 63% of subjects and 65% had positive attitude towards vaccine. Some subjects (45.5% dental and 48.4% medical) showed concern regarding unforeseen effects of the vaccine. Willingness to get vaccinated was 3.45 higher in subjects who were involved in COVID duties. Subjects giving less preference to natural immunity over vaccine showed more willingness (OR: 2.98) towards getting the vaccine.

CONCLUSION

The findings of the study showed that acceptance and attitude of subjects regarding COVID 19 vaccine was suboptimal as there were various factors which contributed towards subjects' hesitancy to get vaccinated. There is an utmost need to address various issues regarding vaccine safety to promote high uptake.

摘要

背景

新型冠状病毒病（COVID-19，SARS-CoV-2）的第二波疫情比第一波更为严重，原因是出现了新的变异毒株。在这种情况下，接种疫苗是全球范围内拯救数百万人生命的唯一有效方法。

目的

本研究旨在评估医疗保健专业人员（医学和牙科）对 COVID-19 疫苗的态度和接受/意愿。

材料和方法

对印度两个邦的不同医院工作的医学和牙科专业人员进行了在线问卷调查。共有 520 名受试者构成最终样本量。使用自行构建的问卷（分为两部分），包含 12 个问题，从受试者那里获得有关他们对 COVID-19 疫苗的态度和意愿的信息。使用卡方检验和多元线性回归分析进行统计分析。还生成了 95%置信区间的优势比。统计学意义设为 p≤0.05。

结果

大多数受试者（67%的牙科和 73%的医学）对 COVID-19 疫苗的有效性充满信心。有意愿接种疫苗的受试者占 63%，对疫苗持积极态度的占 65%。一些受试者（45.5%的牙科和 48.4%的医学）对疫苗的意外影响表示关注。参与 COVID 工作的受试者接种疫苗的意愿高 3.45 倍。相对于疫苗，对自然免疫力的偏好程度较低的受试者表现出更高的接种意愿（OR：2.98）。
