Factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine receipt at two integrated healthcare systems in New York City: a cross-sectional study of healthcare workers
Abstract
Objectives To examine the factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine receipt among healthcare workers and the role of vaccine confidence in decisions to vaccinate, and to better understand concerns related to COVID-19 vaccination. Design Cross-sectional anonymous survey among front-line, support service and administrative healthcare workers. Setting Two large integrated healthcare systems (one private and one public) in New York City during the initial roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccine. Participants 1933 healthcare workers, including nurses, physicians, allied health professionals, environmental services staff, researchers and administrative staff. Primary outcome measures The primary outcome was COVID-19 vaccine receipt during the initial roll-out of the vaccine among healthcare workers. Results Among 1933 healthcare workers who had been offered the vaccine, 81% had received the vaccine at the time of the survey. Receipt was lower among black (58%; OR: 0.14, 95% CI 0.1 to 0.2) compared with white (91%) healthcare workers, and higher among non-Hispanic (84%) compared with Hispanic (69%; OR: 2.37, 95% CI 1.8 to 3.1) healthcare workers. Among healthcare workers with concerns about COVID-19 vaccine safety, 65% received the vaccine. Among healthcare workers who agreed with the statement that the vaccine is important to protect family members, 86% were vaccinated. Of those who disagreed, 25% received the vaccine (p<0.001). In a multivariable analysis, concern about being…
