医护人员 (HCW) 不愿接种疫苗可能会产生广泛的负面影响，包括对普通人群的行为进行建模，以及维持健康的劳动力队伍以应对疫情卷土重来的挑战。我们之前曾报道过，在获得紧急使用授权 (EUA) 之前，只有三分之一的医护人员愿意在疫苗上市后立即接种。在此，我们在疫苗广泛普及几个月后重新审视医护人员对 COVID-19 疫苗的态度。在这项研究中，只有 7.9% (n = 107) 的受访者对接种第一剂或第二剂疫苗犹豫不决。年龄较小（18-40 岁）和教育程度较低（GED 或更低）与疫苗犹豫度较高相关，而自我认同的亚洲种族身份与对 COVID-19 疫苗接种的更高接受度相关。在对疫苗犹豫不决的群体中，对监管机构（45.3%）、政府（48.6%）和制药公司（50%）不信任的受访者比例高于对医生（25.4%）的不信任。近三分之二的受访者担心疫苗接种可能对新毒株无效，可能需要加强剂量；然而，对疫苗犹豫不决的受访者接受假设加强剂量的比例仅为 14.3%。总体而言，观察到疫苗犹豫的人口预测因素与之前报道的相似。一些美国医护人员对接受加强剂量的犹豫可能反映了他们对接受其他形式的疫苗接种的普遍犹豫。
Vaccine reluctance among healthcare workers (HCW) can have widespread negative ramifications, including modeling behavior for the general population and challenges with maintaining a healthy workforce so we can respond to a resurgence of the pandemic. We previously reported that only one-third of HCW were willing to take the vaccine as soon as it became available prior to its Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). Here, we re-examine the attitude toward COVID-19 vaccines among HCW several months after the vaccines have been made widely available. In this study, only 7.9% (n = 107) of respondents were hesitant to take the first or second dose of the vaccine. Younger age (18–40 years) and lower level of education attainment (GED or less) were associated with higher vaccine hesitancy, whereas self-identified Asian racial identity was associated with greater acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination. Among the vaccine-hesitant group, more respondents noted mistrust of regulatory authorities (45.3%), government (48.6%), and pharmaceutical companies (50%) than mistrust of doctors (25.4%). Nearly two-thirds of respondents were concerned that vaccination may be ineffective against new strains and booster doses may be required; however, vaccine-hesitant respondents’ acceptance of a hypothetical booster dose was only 14.3%. Overall, vaccine hesitancy was observed to have demographic predictors similar to those previously reported; the hesitancy of some US HCW to receive booster doses may reflect a general hesitancy to receive other forms of vaccination.
