Description
Kessy and co-authors survey in 2023 COVID-19 vaccine uptake and hesitancy among health workers in Tanzania. Health workers are key voices for vaccines, so their own stance matters for public trust. An anonymous online survey ran from October to November 2022.
The study kept 560 workers, with doctors the largest group, then nurses. About seven in ten had taken the vaccine, and collective duty was the top stated driver. About eight in ten said they were willing, yet over six in ten also showed hesitancy. Higher education linked to uptake, while the youngest group showed the highest refusal. The authors call for action to close that gap.
