“…Although the specific reasons for reduced uptake of booster doses among previously infected HCWs merits further investigation, there are numerous reports associating history of past SARS-COV-2 infection with lower likelihood of receiving a booster dose of the vaccine (21,(39)(40)(41). Whist our analysis found that a history of infection was associated with 39% lower odds of booster uptake in this cohort, Viskupic and Wiltse reported 49% lower odds among nurses in South Dakota (41). Others have suggested that a potential explanation for this reluctance is greater concern among people who had had COVID-19 infections about experiencing side-effects following mRNA vaccination related to already having been infected (42,43).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted hurdles for healthcare delivery and personnel globally. Vaccination has been an important tool for preventing severe illness and death in healthcare workers (HCWs) as well as the public at large. However, vaccination has resulted in some HCWs requiring time off work post-vaccination to recover from adverse events. We aimed to understand which HCWs needed to take time off work post-vaccination, for which vaccine types and sequence, and how post-vaccination absence impacted uptake of booster doses in a cohort of 26,267 Canadian HCWs. By March 31, 2022, more than 98% had received at least two doses of the approved COVID-19 vaccines, following a two-dose mandate. We found that recent vaccination and longer intervals between doses were associated with significantly higher odds of time-loss, whereas being a medical resident and receiving the BNT162b2 vaccine were associated with lower odds. A history of lab-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with lower odds of receiving a booster dose compared with no documented infection, aOR 0.61 (95% CI: 0.55, 0.68). Similarly, taking sick time following the first or second dose was associated with lower odds of receiving a booster dose, aOR 0.83 (95% CI: 0.75, 0.90). As SARS-CoV-2 becomes endemic, the number and timing of additional doses for HCWs requires consideration of prevention of illness as well as service disruption from post-vaccination time-loss. Care should be taken to ensure adequate staffing if many HCWs are being vaccinated, especially for coverage for those who are more likely to need time off to recover.

“…Positive changes in either attitude could make people more inclined towards additional booster vaccinations. The wording of all questions used in this study was consistent with extant research ( Viskupič and Wiltse, 2022 , Viskupič and Wiltse, 2023 ).…”

“…As of March 2023, 79% of American adults completed the primary vaccination series, whereas only about 20% of all adults had received the updated (bivalent) booster ( CDC., 2020 ). Booster hesitancy was recorded in all segments of society, including among nurses ( Viskupič and Wiltse, 2022 ).…”

The decision to vaccinate against COVID-19 is primarily a personal choice influenced by numerous factors. Vaccine acceptance and a positive attitude towards vaccination among nurses have an impact on patients’ willingness to vaccinate. To assess COVID-19 vaccination coverage among primary healthcare nurses and to associate socio-demographic factors, comorbidity, self-rated health, and unhealthy lifestyle with the decision to be vaccinated, we conducted an online cross-sectional study from March to May 2023 using a self-administrated questionnaire. Probability sampling was used to select 32 health centers and nurses were invited via email. Among the 560 participants who completed survey, 78.3% and 50.8% received the primary two-dose course and at least one booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine, respectively. Primary care nurses who were ≥41 years of age, physically less active, and those who were overweight opted statistically significantly more often for the primary vaccination scheme (p = 0.00, 0.015 and 0.017, respectively). Education and the living environments of primary care nurses did not significantly influence the decision to receive two primary COVID-19 doses. Likewise, good self-rated health and comorbidity did not contribute significantly to the vaccination decision. Nurses that were vaccinated with booster doses were significantly more often overweight (p = 0.034) and ≥41 year of age (p = 0.000).
