Factors associated with early uptake of COVID-19 vaccination among
healthcare workers in Azerbaijan, 2021
Abstract
We evaluated uptake and factors associated with COVID-19 vaccination
among health workers (HWs) in Azerbaijan. Among 1,575 HWs, 73% had
received at least one dose and 67% received two doses; all received
CoronaVac. Factors associated with vaccination uptake included no
previous COVID-19 infection, older age, belief in the vaccine’s safety,
previous vaccination for influenza, having patient-facing roles, and
good or excellent health by self-assessment. These findings could inform
strategies to increase vaccination uptake as the campaign continues.
