COVID-19 大流行影响了全世界，尤其是一线忧虑者。为了度过这场战争，全世界都在竞相生产和生产 COVID-19 疫苗。疫苗接种犹豫是全球健康的重大障碍之一。本研究旨在评估埃及医护人员对 COVID-19 疫苗的看法和态度，了解他们态度的决定因素，以及可能提高疫苗接受度的因素。对埃及不同省份的 385 名医护人员进行了一项基于网络的匿名观察性调查。基于世界卫生组织疫苗犹豫调查问题的调查问卷有阿拉伯语和英语版本，并经过了可靠性测试。关于疫苗接种决定，51%的参与者尚未决定，28%的参与者拒绝，21%的参与者接受疫苗接种。接受疫苗的原因主要是疫苗的COVID-19风险（93%）、安全性（57.5%）和有效性（56.25%）。同时，对疫苗犹豫不决的原因是缺乏足够的临床试验（92.4%）和担心疫苗的副作用（91.4%）。提高参与者对疫苗接种接受度的主要因素是获得有关可用疫苗的充分和准确的信息。参与者对 COVID-19 疫苗安全性的平均关注度很高（5 分中的 3.8 分），不同研究组之间存在显着差异（P 值 0.002）。尽管发生了 COVID-19 大流行，但在我们的研究中，只有约 21% 的埃及医护人员接受了 COVID-19 疫苗接种。对疫苗的犹豫是实施疫苗接种计划的主要障碍。
COVID-19 pandemic has affected the whole world, especially the frontline worriers. To get shielded through this war, the world is racing to reach and manufacture COVID-19 vaccines. Vaccination hesitancy is one of the significant obstacles to global health. This study aimed to assess the perception and attitude of healthcare workers in Egypt toward COVID-19 vaccines, acknowledge the determinants of their attitude, and the factors that could increase the acceptance of the vaccine. an observational web-based anonymous survey was conducted on 385 Egyptian healthcare workers in different governorates. The questionnaire-based on Vaccine Hesitancy Survey Questions of the World Health Organization was available in Arabic and English languages and was tested for reliability. Regarding vaccination decision, 51% of the participants were undecided, 28% refused, and 21% accepted vaccination. Reasons for vaccine acceptance mainly were risks of COVID-19 (93%), safety (57.5%), and effectiveness (56.25%) of the vaccine. Simultaneously, the reasons for vaccine hesitancy were the absence of enough clinical trials (92.4%) and fear of side effects of the vaccine (91.4%). The leading factor that could increase vaccination acceptance among the participants was to get sufficient and accurate information about the available vaccines. The participants revealed a high mean level of concern for COVID-19 vaccines’ safety (3.8 of 5) that differs significantly among the different study groups (P-value .002). Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, only approximately 21% of Egyptian healthcare workers in our study accepted the COVID-19 vaccination. Vaccine hesitancy represents a major barrier to implementing vaccination programs.
