A study on the willingness and influencing factors of novel coronavirus vaccination among medical personnel in North China.

AIM

To understand the awareness of the willingness to be vaccinated and influencing factors of the new coronavirus vaccine (neo-crown vaccine) among medical personnel in North China and to provide a theoretical basis and application guidelines for the feasibility of coronavirus vaccination by medical personnel to guide the public to actively be vaccinated by taking initiative and obtaining a coronavirus vaccination as soon as possible.

METHODS

From April 2021 to June 2021, medical staff in North China were selected to complete an online questionnaire survey using Questionnaire Star to analyze the willingness rate to be vaccinated with the new coronavirus vaccine, and the influencing factors were analyzed using binary logistic regression.

RESULTS

Among 621 respondents, 85.7% were willing to be vaccinated after the launch of the new vaccine. In the questionnaire, respondents were asked to answer questions such as "Do you think it is better to receive as few vaccines as possible at the same time?," "If I get the new coronavirus vaccine, I may have serious side effects.," "The new coronavirus vaccine is safe.," "Specifically, for the new coronavirus vaccine, do you think it is safe?," and "Specifically, for the new coronavirus vaccine, do you think it is easy to administer?." These beliefs have an important influence on the vaccination of medical staff with the new coronavirus vaccine in Northern China (= 1.610,95% : 1.055 ~ 2.456; = 1.715,95% : 1.164 ~ 2.526; = 0.401, 95% : 0.212 ~ 0.760; = 0.352,95% : 0.147 ~ 0.843; = 3.688,95% : 1.281 ~ 10.502, respectively; All < .05).

CONCLUSIONS
