Περίληψη:
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. © 2022 Lippincott Williams and Wilkins.
