Cette étude par sondage en ligne auprès de 885 travailleurs de la santé a évalué l’adoption d’un vaccin COVID-19 et les facteurs associés. La majorité des travailleurs de la santé ont été vaccinés contre le COVID-19 (91,5%). Les femmes et les travailleurs de la santé ayant des antécédents de vaccination contre la grippe saisonnière avaient une plus grande probabilité de se faire vacciner contre le COVID-19. En outre, une meilleure connaissance autoperçue de la pandémie de COVID-19 et une plus grande confiance dans les vaccins COVID-19 étaient associées à la prise du vaccin COVID-19.
Objective: We assessed the uptake of a COVID-19 vaccine and associated factors in a sample of healthcare workers (HCWs). Methods: An on-line cross-sectional study with 885 HCWs was conducted in Greece during August 2021. We measured socio-demographic data of HCWs and attitudes towards vaccination and the COVID-19 pandemic. A convenience sample was used since the questionnaire was distributed through social media and emails. Results: The majority of HCWs were vaccinated against the COVID-19 (91.5%). Females and HCWs with a history of seasonal influenza vaccination had a greater probability to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Also, increased self-perceived knowledge regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and increased trust in COVID-19 vaccines were associated with COVID-19 vaccine uptake. Conclusions: Policymakers and scientists should develop novel strategies to improve COVID-19 vaccine uptake among HCWs.
