While other studies have reported estimates of COVID-19 vaccine uptake by broad occupational group, little is known about vaccine uptake by detailed occupational category.
Data on COVID-19 vaccination were provided by US adults ages ≥18 years old who responded to the Facebook/Delphi Group COVID-19 Trends and Impact Survey (Delphi US CTIS) in April-May 2021, reported working for pay in the past 4 weeks, and answered questions about their COVID-19 vaccine status. Percentages of occupational groups reporting having had at least one COVID-19 vaccination were weighted to resemble the US general population and calculated for 23 major occupational groups and 120 detailed occupational categories in 15 major groups.
COVID-19 vaccine uptake for all 828,401 working adult respondents was 73.6%. Uptake varied considerably across the 23 major occupational groups, from 45.7% for Construction and Extraction to 87.9% for Education, Training, and Library. Percentage vaccinated was also very low for Installation, Maintenance, and Repair at 52.1% and Farming, Fishing, and Forestry at 53.9%. Among the 120 detailed occupational categories, the highest percentage vaccinated was 93.9% for Postsecondary Teacher and the three lowest values were 39.1% for Any Extraction Worker in Oil, Gas, Mining, or Quarrying; 40.1% for Vehicle or Mobile Equipment Mechanic, Installer, or Repairer; and 42.0% for Any Construction Trades Worker.
Low vaccination percentages were seen in many US occupations by the end of May 2021, early in the period of widespread availability of vaccines for adults. These findings could help inform the deployment of occupation-specific vaccinepromotion activities during future viral epidemics and pandemics.
虽然其他研究报告了按广泛职业群体估算的 COVID-19 疫苗接种率，但对于详细职业类别的疫苗接种率知之甚少。
2021 年 4 月至 5 月期间，年龄在 18 岁及以上的美国成年人通过 Facebook/Delphi Group COVID-19 趋势和影响调查（Delphi US CTIS）回答了有关 COVID-19 疫苗接种的数据。这些成年人在过去 4 周内有报酬工作，并回答了有关其 COVID-19 疫苗接种状况的问题。报告至少接种过一次 COVID-19 疫苗的职业群体的百分比经过加权处理，以与美国总人口相似，并计算了 23 个主要职业群体和 15 个主要群体中的 120 个详细职业类别的疫苗接种率。
所有 828,401 名有报酬工作的成年受访者的 COVID-19 疫苗接种率为 73.6%。23 个主要职业群体的疫苗接种率差异很大，从建筑和采掘业的 45.7%到教育、培训和图书馆的 87.9%。安装、维护和修理的疫苗接种率也非常低，为 52.1%，农业、渔业和林业为 53.9%。在 120 个详细职业类别中，接种率最高的是高等教育教师，为 93.9%，接种率最低的是石油、天然气、采矿或采石业的任何采掘工人，为 39.1%；汽车或移动设备机械师、安装工或修理工为 40.1%；任何建筑行业工人为 42.0%。
到 2021 年 5 月底，许多美国职业的疫苗接种率仍然很低，此时正值成年人广泛获得疫苗的早期阶段。这些发现可能有助于为未来的病毒流行和大流行期间特定职业的疫苗推广活动提供信息。
