The importance of immunization has increased even more during the pandemic. This study aimed to evaluate the reasons for healthcare professionals not being vaccinated against COVID-19 and to develop solutions for the causes.
This qualitative study was carried out with in-depth interviews between July 2021 and October 2021, with 32 healthcare professionals and five key people who had never been vaccinated against COVID-19.
The most common reasons that healthcare professionals were not vaccinated against COVID-19 were concerns about vaccine side effects, believing that the vaccine is not effective, distrust of the vaccine content and COVID-19 treatment methods, the rapid production of the vaccine, the fact that the vaccine is produced with a new technology, thinking that the vaccine is not the definitive solution, seeing themselves as healthy and young, and the belief that they would have a mild case of the disease and recover. The main themes were COVID-19 vaccine-related reasons, individual reasons/group effects, contextual reasons, and vaccination-related general issues. The main sub-themes were vaccine production, distrust, risk perception, policies and infodemic.
It has been seen that the uncertainty, infodemic, and insecurity that emerged especially during the pandemic period are related to each other. As knowledge and awareness about the disease increase, there is an increase in risk perception. For this reason, social information studies should be increased and physicians should be enabled to use media tools more effectively.

在疫情期间，免疫接种的重要性进一步提高。本研究旨在评估医护人员未接种新冠疫苗的原因，并针对这些原因制定解决方案。
本定性研究于2021年7月至2021年10月进行，对32名医护人员和5名从未接种过新冠疫苗的关键人物进行了深入访谈。
医护人员未接种新冠疫苗的最常见原因包括担心疫苗副作用、认为疫苗无效、对疫苗成分和新冠治疗方法不信任、疫苗生产迅速、疫苗采用新技术生产、认为疫苗不是最终解决方案、自认为健康年轻以及相信自己感染后症状会轻微并能康复。主要主题包括与新冠疫苗相关的原因、个人原因/群体影响、背景原因以及与疫苗接种相关的一般问题。主要子主题包括疫苗生产、不信任、风险认知、政策和信息疫情。
已发现特别是在疫情期间出现的不确定性、信息疫情和不安全感相互关联。随着对该疾病的知识和认识增加，风险认知也在增加。因此，应加强社会信息研究，并使医生能够更有效地使用媒体工具。
