Background The determination of the acceptance of the COVID‐19 vaccine by the health personnel will also be a guide for the upcoming vaccination studies. The aim of this study is to determine the acceptance status of COVID‐19 vaccine amongst healthcare professionals. Materials and methods A total of 1138 healthcare workers participated in this cross‐sectional study between 17th and 20th of September, 2020. The questionnaire, which was delivered via social media, was filled out by the participants over "Google Forms." Results As a result of the questionnaire, 68.6% of the healthcare professionals stated that they could be vaccinated. Men, students, the younger age group, and those who had a previous flu shot were all willing to get the COVID‐19 vaccine. Conclusions Efforts to increase the knowledge of healthcare professionals about the new vaccine and to eliminate their doubts and concerns are important.

Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) experiences of nursing students in the COVID-19 pandemic, to determine the acceptance levels of the Learning Management System (LMS) and to develop suggestions for future applications. Methods: This descriptive study was carried out with 427 nursing students using the "Demographic Data Collection Form" and "Learning Management System Acceptance Scale (LMSAS)" forms between October and November 2020. Results: The nursing students' 77.2% (n:301) are female. 23.3% (n:91) worried about not learning enough and not being a good nurse. The mean of the total scale score of LMSA is 64.77±14.74, which shows the students' average perceptions of acceptance. The students stated that they wanted to reduce the duration of the theoretical courses and to perform the applications in simulation laboratories or hospitals/ family health centers (FHCs). Conclusions: Students' acceptance perceptions for LMS, which constitute the basic structure of distance education, were found at a moderate level. It is recommended that nursing faculties develop and implement support systems to increase the students' adaptation to the distance education process and to reduce their concerns.
