  • [Pre-print, not peer reviewed] A majority of healthcare workers expressed concerns about receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, and non-physician healthcare workers reported a greater desire to delay receiving a COVID-19 vaccine compared to physicians. In a cross-sectional survey of healthcare workers enrolled in a longitudinal cohort study investigating the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection (n = 1,093), the odds of reporting an intent to delay COVID-19 vaccine uptake were 4.15 times higher among nurses, 2.45 times higher among other personnel with patient contact roles, and 2.15 times higher among those without patient contact compared to doctors.
