Respondents who reported that the doctor did not inform them of the vaccine type they received and those who could not recall the vaccine type were excluded.
Adults were classified as health-care personnel if they reported they currently volunteer or work in a hospital, medical clinic, doctor’s office, dentist’s office, nursing home, or other health-care facility, including part-time and unpaid work in a health-care facility or professional nursing care provided in the home.
