Potential Acceptance of COVID-19 Vaccines in Healthcare Workers in Egypt

Assiut University400 enrolled

Overview

The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to remain as a public health threat and economic burden all over the world. The available proposed vaccines are still lacking large randomized controlled trials testing its efficacy and safety. Thus, the acceptance of vaccination between citizens as well as healthcare workers is not guaranteed. As the vaccine is starting to be distributed the acceptance of healthcare givers should be measured as they are usually the front line facing the problem and they have a responsibility to explain the need of immunization to the rest of population. Strategies to enhance the acceptance and trust of the available vaccines may be needed.
