(1) Background: The incidence proportion of SARS-CoV-2 infection among healthcare workers (HCWs) in Poland is not exactly known. This study aims to present secondary epidemiological data identifying the scale of the spread of novel coronavirus infection and the estimation of vaccination coverage in selected professional groups of HCWs in Poland. (2) Methods: The secondary epidemiological data included both the number of infections and infection fatality rate (IFR) in individual occupational groups, which occurred throughout the observation period (January 2021-July 2022), both in the country and in individual voivodeship (administrative area). (3) Results: The incidence proportion of SARS-CoV-2 infections among HCWs was 16.48%. The highest percentage of infected workers concerned laboratory scientists (21.62%) and paramedics (18%). The highest frequency of infections among HCWs occurred in the province of Zachodnio-Pomorskie (18.9%). Due to COVID-19, 558 healthcare workers died during the analysed period, mostly nurses ( = 236) and doctors ( = 200). The results regarding the vaccination coverage of HCWs against COVID-19 indicate the highest percentage of vaccinated were among doctors (83.63%) and the lowest among physiotherapists (38.2%). (4) Conclusions: In general, the percentage of infections was high in Poland during the pandemic (16.48%). Significant territorial differences were observed in the frequency of infections, deaths, and percentage of vaccinated workers in individual voivodeships.
(1) 背景：波兰医护人员中新型冠状病毒感染的发病率尚不完全清楚。本研究旨在提供二级流行病学数据，以确定新型冠状病毒感染的传播规模，并估计波兰特定医护人员职业群体的疫苗接种覆盖率。(2) 方法：二级流行病学数据包括在整个观察期（2021年1月至2022年7月）内，波兰全国及各省份（行政区）各职业群体的感染人数和感染死亡率（IFR）。(3) 结果：医护人员中新型冠状病毒感染的发病率为16.48%。感染比例最高的是实验室科学家（21.62%）和护理人员（18%）。医护人员中感染频率最高的发生在西滨海省（18.9%）。在分析期内，558名医护人员死于新冠病毒，其中大多数是护士（=236人）和医生（=200人）。关于医护人员新冠疫苗接种覆盖率的结果显示，接种比例最高的是医生（83.63%），最低的是物理治疗师（38.2%）。(4) 结论：总体而言，波兰在疫情期间感染率较高（16.48%）。在各省份，感染频率、死亡人数和接种疫苗的医护人员比例存在显著的地域差异。
