Encouraging healthcare workers (HCWs) to be vaccinated is a global challenge and plays a fundamental role in combating COVID-19 pandemic. Beyond national policy, which could be different between countries, the decision to be vaccinated involves personal opinions, values, risk perception and attitudes. HCWs may have their own concerns and fears about vaccination beyond being part of the health system. They have a national role in encouraging public vaccination and therefore we recommend strengthening their involvement as policy agents. The health system should equip HCWs with information on the nature and scope of circulating concerns in their communities. At the same time, be attentive to their concerns, equip them with established knowledge and work to strengthen their confidence in the vaccine.
鼓励医护人员（HCWs）接种疫苗是一项全球性挑战，对抗击 COVID-19 大流行起着至关重要的作用。除了各国可能不同的国家政策外，接种疫苗的决定还涉及个人意见、价值观、风险认知和态度。医护人员除了作为卫生系统的一部分外，可能对疫苗接种有自己的担忧和恐惧。他们在鼓励公众接种疫苗方面发挥着国家作用，因此我们建议加强他们作为政策制定者的参与。卫生系统应向医护人员提供有关其所在社区关注问题的性质和范围的信息。同时，关注他们的关切，为他们提供既定的知识，并努力增强他们对疫苗的信心。
