Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on vaccine hesitancy and sentiment changes: A survey of healthcare workers in 12 countries.

Objectives: Healthcare workers (HCWs) are a trusted source of vaccine-related information for patients and communities, but they can show hesitancy or reluctance towards vaccinations. The objective of our study was to investigate HCWs' sentiment and hesitancy towards vaccination, focusing on COVID-19 and influenza vaccination.

Study Design: A global cross-sectional study spanning four continents.

Strategies used to improve vaccine uptake among healthcare providers: A systematic review.

Background: Vaccination is one of the most effective available public health tools, preventing infectious diseases to safeguard public health and save millions of lives annually. However, in recent years vaccine hesitancy has increased among all populations, including healthcare workers. Healthcare providers are central to vaccination efforts due to their increased exposure to disease and vulnerable patients, and their role in patient confidence and decision-making.
