“…Our other work from approximately the same time indicates that the political influence on vaccine acceptance in the United States was not a major factor at that time [34], although it certainly is now [44]. This study also does not consider more forceful measures, such as mandates, that have increased the vaccination percentages in New York City, as well as in other locations [45]. We hope that this work will indicate the directions and areas of focus for vaccine messaging and communication in the future, as well as obstacles and issues that need to be overcome if a similar situation were to arise again.…”

Despite the development of several effective vaccines, SARS-CoV-2 continues to spread, causing serious illness among the unvaccinated. Healthcare professionals are trusted sources of information about vaccination, and therefore understanding the attitudes and beliefs of healthcare professionals regarding the vaccines is of utmost importance. We conducted a survey-based study to understand the factors affecting COVID-19 vaccine attitudes among health care professionals in NYC Health and Hospitals, at a time when the vaccine was new, and received 3759 responses. Machine learning and chi-square analyses were applied to determine the factors most predictive of vaccine hesitancy. Demographic factors, education, role at the hospital, perceptions of the pandemic itself, and location of work and residence were all found to significantly contribute to vaccine attitudes. Location of residence was examined for both borough and neighborhood, and was found to have a significant impact on vaccine receptivity. Interestingly, this borough-level data did not correspond to the number or severity of cases in the respective boroughs, indicating that local social or other influences likely have a substantial impact. Local and demographic factors should be strongly considered when preparing pro-vaccine messages or campaigns.

“…Vaccine mandates are effective at increasing vaccination rates, both for COVID-19 [259,260] and influenza vaccines [10,261] though studies on the impact of COVID-19 vaccine mandates are limited at this time. Among HCWs, one study of radiology departments with a site-specific mandate noted an improved vaccination rate as the institutional deadline approached [262]. However, effective mandates do not address ethical concerns and must be balanced with the recognition that a minority of HCWs may quit rather than comply.…”

COVID-19 Vaccination Hesitancy among Healthcare Workers—A Review

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The COVID-19 pandemic and its associated vaccine have highlighted vaccine hesitancy among healthcare workers (HCWs). Vaccine hesitancy among this group existed prior to the pandemic and particularly centered around influenza vaccination. Being a physician, having more advanced education, and previous vaccination habits are frequently associated with vaccine acceptance. The relationship between age and caring for patients on COVID-19 vaccination is unclear, with studies providing opposing results. Reasons for hesitancy include concerns about safety and efficacy, mistrust of government and institutions, waiting for more data, and feeling that personal rights are being infringed upon. Many of these reasons reflect previous attitudes about influenza vaccination as well as political beliefs and views of personal autonomy. Finally, several interventions to encourage vaccination have been studied, including education programs and non-monetary incentives with the most effective studies using a combination of methods.

“…This is a vital barrier to increasing vaccination coverage [ 3 ]. Because these people refuse to be vaccinated because of religious rules, they will not be vaccinated even if they think it is helpful [ 6 ]. In other words, emphasizing the positive aspects of the vaccine will not be enough to persuade these people to get vaccinated [ 22 ].…”

“…The problem of anti-vaccination needs to be solved quickly because this pandemic caused vital damage to countries both in terms of health and economy. However, to solve this problem effectively, it is important to first determine the exact cause of the problem [ 6 ]. In this way, it will be possible to develop point-and-shoot solution suggestions.…”

This study defines key issues for sustainable healthcare policy in COVID-19 period. For this purpose, 9 different criteria that affect vaccine hesitancy are selected with the help of a detailed literature evaluation. A novel hybrid fuzzy decision-making model is developed using DEMATEL and TOPSIS based on q-Rung orthopair fuzzy sets. A comparative evaluation has also been performed using IF DEMATEL and PF DEMATEL. The results of all different methods are almost the same that indicates the reliability and coherency of the proposed model. The findings demonstrate that religion is the most critical factor that causes vaccine hesitancy. It is also defined that active population in daily life is the most important alternative. Developing countries should mainly focus on the actions regarding the religious issues to have sustainable healthcare policies in COVID-19 period. In this context, religious leaders can be released to the media and give information that the vaccine is not against religious rules. This has a significant contribution to convince people who are against the vaccine. Furthermore, these countries should also give priorities to the active population in daily life. Because this group supports the workforce in the country very seriously, it can be possible to increase the workforce in the country by completing the vaccination of this group that helps to boost economic development.
