The role of medical personnel in promoting vaccination and pro-health attitudes seems to be of key importance for protection against COVID-19. The aim of the study was to assess the attitudes of health care workers and students of medical faculties towards preventive vaccinations against COVID-19. A cross-sectional online self-administered survey was conducted among 497 people. The questions concerned attitudes towards vaccination as well as concerns about the side effects of the vaccine and contracting COVID-19. A positive attitude to vaccination was observed in 82% of the respondents. More than 54% respondents were concerned about side effects after COVID-19 vaccination. Medical students under 26 years had a more positive attitude towards COVID-19 vaccination, twice as high as among health care workers OR (95%Cl): 2.20 (1.03-4.66) vs. 4.06 (2.54-6.48), respectively. Students were more concerned than nurses about adverse effects of COVID-19 vaccine 3.8 (3.2-4.1) vs. 3.0 (2.7-3.5) and contracting the virus (1.7 (1.2-2.5) vs. 1.2 (1.0-2.0). Medical students had a more positive attitude toward vaccination than nursing students 4.2 (3.9-4.3) vs. 3.7 (3.3-4.3). In conclusion, predictors of positive attitudes toward vaccination were medical student status and young age.
医务人员在促进疫苗接种和健康态度方面的作用对于预防新冠病毒似乎至关重要。本研究的目的是评估医护人员和医学院学生对新冠病毒预防性疫苗接种的态度。对497人进行了一项横断面在线自填式调查。问题涉及对疫苗接种的态度以及对疫苗副作用和感染新冠病毒的担忧。82%的受访者对疫苗接种持积极态度。超过54%的受访者担心新冠病毒疫苗接种后的副作用。26岁以下的医学生对新冠病毒疫苗接种的态度更为积极，分别是医护人员的两倍，比值比（95%置信区间）：分别为2.20（1.03 - 4.66）和4.06（2.54 - 6.48）。与护士相比，学生更担心新冠病毒疫苗的不良反应，分别为3.8（3.2 - 4.1）和3.0（2.7 - 3.5），以及感染病毒（分别为1.7（1.2 - 2.5）和1.2（1.0 - 2.0））。医学生比护理专业学生对疫苗接种的态度更积极，分别为4.2（3.9 - 4.3）和3.7（3.3 - 4.3）。总之，对疫苗接种持积极态度的预测因素是医学生身份和年轻。
