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.
