We assessed the uptake of a COVID-19 vaccine and associated factors in a sample of healthcare workers (HCWs).
An on-line cross-sectional study with 885 HCWs was conducted in Greece during August 2021. We measured socio-demographic data of HCWs and attitudes towards vaccination and the COVID-19 pandemic. A convenience sample was used since the questionnaire was distributed through social media and emails.
The majority of HCWs were vaccinated against the COVID-19 (91.5%). Females and HCWs with a history of seasonal influenza vaccination had a greater probability to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Also, increased self-perceived knowledge regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and increased trust in COVID-19 vaccines were associated with COVID-19 vaccine uptake.
Policymakers and scientists should develop novel strategies to improve COVID-19 vaccine uptake among HCWs.
我们评估了 COVID-19 疫苗在医疗保健工作者（HCWs）样本中的接种情况及其相关因素。
2021 年 8 月在希腊进行了一项在线横断面研究，共有 885 名 HCWs 参与。我们测量了 HCWs 的社会人口统计学数据以及对疫苗接种和 COVID-19 大流行的态度。由于问卷调查是通过社交媒体和电子邮件分发的，因此使用了便利样本。
大多数 HCWs 接种了 COVID-19 疫苗（91.5%）。女性和有季节性流感疫苗接种史的 HCWs 更有可能接种 COVID-19 疫苗。此外，自我感知到的 COVID-19 大流行相关知识增加以及对 COVID-19 疫苗的信任增加与 COVID-19 疫苗接种率有关。
政策制定者和科学家应制定新策略，以提高 HCWs 对 COVID-19 疫苗的接种率。
