COVID-19 Vaccination Behavior in Healthcare Professionals with At least 2 Doses of COVID-19 Vaccination After Sars-CoV-2 Omicron Variant

Abstract

AIMS: Health workers are priority individuals because they take part in primary health care services, and they are a very high-risk group for infectious diseases and pandemics. Behaviors of health workers as role models in society towards vaccines and treatments can significantly affect their efforts to fight against a disease or to contain and terminate a pandemic. METHODS: This study aimed to determine healthcare workers’ COVID-19 vaccine attitude who had positive Sars-CoV-2 omicron variant after receiving at least 2 vaccine doses. The population of this decisive study consisted of healthcare workers who had positive Sars-CoV-2 after at least 2 doses of vaccine and volunteered to participate in the study. The study reached 532 healthcare professionals and a cross-sectional study was conducted as an online questionnaire between 15-28 October 2022. RESULTS: It was determined that 340 (63.91%) of them were female and 192 (36.09%) were male. 224 (42.11%) were laboratory technicians, 198 (37.22%) were other healthcare professionals,78 (14.66%) were biologists and 32 (6.02%) were physicians. 364 (68.42%) of them did not have chronic disease and 35.71 % of those with chronic disease had hypertension. Sars-CoV-2 variant was not detected for the 32 (6.02%) who were COVID-19 positive. 508 (95.49%) of the participants received 3 doses of COVID-19 vaccine and 400 (75.19%) preferred BioNTech vaccine for the third dose. CONCLUSION: Multi-faceted data compilation of supportive and informative approach for vaccine encouragement among healthcare workers is determined to be very significant. Healthcare workers should be provided with accurate and up-to-date scientific information to evaluate effectiveness of vaccines.
