The results indicate that motivators include belief in the effectiveness of the vaccine, benefits of easing COVID-19 restrictions, responsibility, and restriction or pressure in case of non-vaccination. Barriers include concerns about vaccine effectiveness and safety, perceived health risks, risk perception towards COVID-19, misinformation, belief in vaccine imposition, and conspiracy theories.

Eder Fernando Rios-Bracamontes, Luz Elena Iniguez-Arias, Rodolfo Jose Ochoa-Jimenez, Jose Guzman-Esquivel, Martha Irazema Cardenas-Rojas, Efren Murillo-Zamora

Summary: Understanding the risk factors associated with COVID-19 infection among healthcare workers is crucial for infection prevention and control. This study analyzed data from 2163 healthcare workers and found that job roles were not significantly associated with the risk of testing positive for COVID-19. However, age, pandemic duration, and vaccination status were identified as significant risk factors. Older age and longer pandemic duration were associated with a higher risk of testing positive, while vaccination reduced the risk. These findings highlight the importance of age, pandemic duration, and vaccination in COVID-19 transmission among healthcare workers.

Dimashkieh, Lingam Amara Swapna, Ali Barakat, Ali Alqerban

Summary: Despite the existence of effective COVID-19 vaccines, disparities in vaccine distribution and acceptance between high- and low-income countries pose significant challenges to achieving population immunity. This global study aimed to investigate factors affecting COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among healthcare workers in 12 countries, based on income index, and identify potential predictors of vaccine acceptance. The results showed that healthcare workers in low- and lower-middle-income countries had considerably lower vaccine acceptance rates compared to those in upper-middle- and high-income countries, with the lowest rates observed among healthcare workers in Africa. These findings highlight the importance of implementing country-specific vaccine promotion strategies, particularly focusing on increasing vaccine supply in low- and lower-middle-income countries.
