COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy among Physicians, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, and Nurses in Two Academic Hospitals in Philadelphia

Design, Setting and Participants

HCP were surveyed between November-December 2020 about their intention to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

The survey measured the intent among HCP to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, timing of vaccination, and reasons for or against vaccination. Among patient-facing HCP, multivariate regression evaluated the associations between healthcare positions (MD, NP/PA, RN) and vaccine hesitancy (intending to decline, delay, or were unsure about vaccination), adjusting for demographic characteristics, reasons why or why not to receive the vaccine, and prior receipt of routine vaccines.
