COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and acceptance by health care worker status.
| At least one dose received | Will take vaccine when available | Vaccine acceptance | Vaccine hesitancy | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| N | % | % | % | % | p value | aOR (95% CI) | |
| Not HCW | 19840 | 52 | 31 | 83 | 17 | ||
| All HCWs | 3295 | 72.4 | 19.4 | 91.8 | 8.1 | <0.001 | 0.58 (0.47, 0.72) |
| Physician | 891 | 85.6a | 11.2 | 96.9 | 3.1 | ||
| Nurse | 619 | 74.5 | 19.1 | 93.5 | 6.5 | ||
| Community health worker | 790 | 69.6 | 22.5 | 92.2 | 7.8 | ||
| Other health care worker | 995 | 61.6 | 24.5 | 86.1 | 13.9 |
Different subscripts denote statistically significant pairwise differences.
aOR, 95% CI and p value (two-sided) are from multivariable logistic model (outcome: vaccine hesitancy) after adjusting for demographic variables, COVID-19 experience, and clustering of health care workers (HCWs) in countries.
