Abstract

Abstract: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine hesitancy among health care workers (HCWs) undermines community vaccine confidence. Predictors and reasons for HCW hesitancy in the Atlanta region were evaluated using a survey between May and June 2021. Vaccine hesitancy was highest in younger and less educated HCWs. Interventions to address vaccine hesitancy in HCWs are necessary.
