“…Our results suggest that public willingness to receive a second booster is lower than willingness to receive a first booster. In particular, median public willingness to receive a first booster was 81% [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ]. Moreover, the inclination of the general population in European countries to accept a first booster is higher than the inclination of our sample to accept a second booster: 95.5% in Denmark [ 14 ], 92.3% in United Kingdom [ 18 ], and 71% in Poland [ 20 ].…”

“…The literature suggests that older age, influenza vaccination, and confidence in COVID-19 vaccines are associated with the willingness of the general public to accept a booster, while adverse side effects after previous COVID-19 vaccination and concerns for serious side effects after booster doses are associated with vaccine hesitancy [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”

“…Thus, individuals’ willingness to accept a first booster dose is an important area of research. Several studies investigated the willingness of the general public to receive a first COVID-19 booster dose [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ]. Among these studies, the percentage of individuals who were willing to take a first booster dose ranges from 44.6% [ 12 ] to 95.5% [ 14 ], while the percentage of unwilling individuals ranges from 1.0% [ 22 ] to 30.7% [ 12 ].…”

Given the concerns of waning immunity from the primary COVID-19 vaccines and the first booster dose, we conducted an online cross-sectional study in May 2022 to investigate willingness to receive a second COVID-19 booster dose or a new COVID-19 vaccine and its associated factors. Overall, 62% of the participants were willing to be vaccinated, 25.8% were unsure, and 12.3% were unwilling to be vaccinated. The main reasons against accepting a second COVID-19 booster dose/new COVID-19 vaccine were concerns about the side effects and the effectiveness and the opinion that further vaccination is unnecessary. Males, younger individuals, participants without a previous COVID-19 diagnosis, and those with good/very good self-perceived physical health were significantly more frequently willing to receive a second COVID-19 booster dose or a new COVID-19 vaccine. Additionally, increased fear of the COVID-19, increased trust in COVID-19 vaccinations, and decreased fear of a second booster dose or a new COVID-19 vaccine was associated with increased willingness. Our results show some hesitancy and unwillingness toward further COVID-19 vaccination and indicate that the fear of COVID-19 and trust in COVID-19 vaccination affects public opinion.

“…We found that booster hesitancy was higher among nurses without a MSc/PhD degree. Several studies in both healthcare workers and the general population confirm the fact that lower educational level is associated with decreased acceptance of the first COVID-19 booster dose (Chrissian et al, 2022;Chu et al, 2022;Miao et al, 2022;Paul & Fancourt, 2022). This could be attributed to the fact that educational level is associated with health knowledge regarding COVID-19 (Gomes da Silva et al, 2021).…”

“…The situation is even worse if we consider that the median value of hesitancy toward the first booster is higher among healthcare workers compared to the general population (31% vs. 22.1%) (Al-Qerem et al, 2022;Chu et al, 2022;Lai et al, 2021;Lounis et al, 2022;Miao et al, 2022;Paul & Fancourt, 2022;Rzymski et al, 2021;Wu et al, 2022;Yoshida et al, 2022). High levels of hesitancy toward a second booster dose/new COVID-19 vaccine in our study should be an alarm bell to the policymakers to scale up effective COVID-19 vaccination programmes in order to disseminate reliable information about the various highly contagious variants of SARS-CoV-2 and provide recommendations to healthcare workers about receiving an additional vaccine dose.…”

Aims and objectives: To assess the levels of second COVID-19 booster dose or new COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among nurses and explore the potential predictors of vaccine hesitancy. Background: COVID-19 full vaccination seems to be highly effective against highly contagious variants of SARS-CoV-2. Healthcare workers are a high-risk group since they have experienced high levels of COVID-19-associated morbidity and mortality. Methods: An on-line cross-sectional study was carried out in Greece in May 2022, using a self-administered questionnaire. The study population included nurses in healthcare services who were fully vaccinated against COVID-19 at the time of study. We considered socio-demographic characteristics, COVID-19-related variables, and attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination and pandemic as potential predictors of vaccine hesitancy. Results: Among 795 nurses, 30.9% were hesitant toward a second booster dose or a new COVID-19 vaccine. Independent predictors of hesitancy included lower educational level, absence of a chronic condition, good/very good self-perceived physical health, lack of flu vaccination during 2021, front-line nurses that provided healthcare to COVID-19 patients during the pandemic, nurses that had not been diagnosed with COVID-19 during the pandemic, and nurses that had at least one relative/friend that has died from COVID-19. Moreover, increased compliance with hygiene measures, increased fear of a second booster dose/new COVID-19 vaccine, and decreased trust in COVID-19 vaccination were associated with increased hesitancy. Conclusions: Our study shows that a significant percentage of nurses are hesitant toward a second booster dose/new COVID-19 vaccine. This initial hesitancy could be a barrier to efforts to control the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a need to communicate COVID-19 vaccine science in a way that is accessible to nurses in order to decrease COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy.

Aims and objectives To assess the levels of second COVID‐19 booster dose/new COVID‐19 vaccine hesitancy among nurses and explore the potential predictors of vaccine hesitancy. Background COVID‐19 full vaccination seems to be highly effective against highly contagious variants of SARS‐CoV‐2. Healthcare workers are at high‐risk group since they have experienced high levels of COVID‐19‐associated morbidity and mortality. Design An on‐line cross‐sectional study was carried out in Greece in May 2022, using a self‐administered questionnaire. Methods The study population included nurses in healthcare services who were fully vaccinated against COVID‐19 at the time of study. We considered socio‐demographic characteristics, COVID‐19‐related variables, and attitudes toward COVID‐19 vaccination and pandemic as potential predictors of vaccine hesitancy. We applied the STROBE checklist in our study. Results Among 795 nurses, 30.9% were hesitant toward a second booster dose or a new COVID‐19 vaccine. Independent predictors of hesitancy included lower educational level, absence of a chronic condition, good/very good self‐perceived physical health, lack of flu vaccination during 2021, front‐line nurses that provided healthcare to COVID‐19 patients, nurses that had not been diagnosed with COVID‐19 and nurses that had at least one relative/friend that has died from COVID‐19. Moreover, increased compliance with hygiene measures, increased fear of a second booster dose/new COVID‐19 vaccine and decreased trust in COVID‐19 vaccination were associated with increased hesitancy. Conclusions Our study shows that a significant percentage of nurses are hesitant toward a second booster dose/new COVID‐19 vaccine. This initial hesitancy could be a barrier to efforts to control the COVID‐19 pandemic. Relevance to clinical practice Nurses' role during the COVID‐19 pandemic is essential since they are the front‐line healthcare workers empowering the public with their passion and empathy. There is a need to communicate COVID‐19 vaccine science in a way that is accessible to nurses in order to decrease COVID‐19 vaccine hesitancy.
