Conclusion
Based on the findings of this research, it was concluded that healthcare professionals experienced moderate fear and that fear of COVID-19 was significantly higher in female healthcare professionals, in healthcare professionals who had the influenza vaccine, and in healthcare professionals who were not diagnosed with COVID-19. It was determined that almost half of the healthcare professionals were undecided regarding the coronavirus vaccine, they had positive views about vaccination and they were mostly concerned about the side effects of the vaccine.
To prevent the prevalence of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, it is suggested to build trust in COVID-19 vaccination among healthcare professionals and the public via timely and clear messages advocating for the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines through trusted channels.
