Materials and Methods: This descriptive study included HCWs working at a tertiary care cardiac center in Karachi, Pakistan. A predefined structured questionnaire was used to assess the sense of security, practice, and perception of the HCWs before vaccination, after vaccination, and after knowing the antibodies titer. Results: Out of 151 HCWs, 70.2% (106) were male, and a majority, 65.6% (99), were ≤35 years old with an overall mean age of 34.92 ± 7.64 years. Nearly half of the individuals, (n=74;49%), were doctors, 10 individuals (6.6%) were non-clinical staff, and reaming were nursing staff. The mean day since COVID-19 vaccination was 89.6 ± 40.07 before COVID-19 infection. Antibodies titer levels were >250 U/mL in 108 cases (71.5%) and ≤100 U/mL in 18 cases (11.8%). A significant increase in perception score was observed after serology with a mean of 61.04 ± 25.23 vs 53.86 ± 28.96;(p=0.008) compared to the post-vaccination perception score. A significant declining trend has been witnessed in mean practice scores, with a pre-vaccination mean of 69.93 ± 27.12, post-vaccination mean of 59.47 ± 30.61 (p<0.001). And post-serology mean of 55.1 ± 27.1 (p<0.001). Conclusion: An increase in the sense of security and leniency in adherence to personal protective measures has been observed among HCWs after vaccination and after knowing the antibodies titer (English) [ FROM AUTHOR] Amaç: Bu çalışmada, üçüncü basamak bir kalp merkezindeki sağlık çalışanları arasında koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 (COVID-19) döneminde aşılama öncesi ve sonrası algı ve uygulamalardaki değişikliklerinin ve antikor titrelerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, an online questionnaire was implemented on 1.033 people aged between 18 and 25 years and living in Turkey between January 28, 2021, and February 19, 2021, by reaching them via e-mail and messaging applications. Results: Among the participants, 68.8% considered getting their children vaccinated, 11.4% were hesitant and 3.1% refused. Among the participants, 36.6% considered getting vaccinated against COVID-19, 34.8% hesitated and 28.6% refused. Hesitation/rejection of childhood vaccines increased with age and when negative information about childhood vaccines was obtained. The acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine was higher in men, in those who assumed that the COVID-19 virus was of a natural origin, in those who obtained information on the COVID-19 vaccine from the Ministry of Health, and in those who made search in scientific papers. Conclusion: The rates of hesitation and rejection in the COVID-19 vaccines are quite high compared to childhood vaccines. It shows that participants are influenced by speculative news. Therefore, it is recommended that this age group be given trainings based on scientific evidence regarding both childhood vaccines and the benefits of the COVID-19 vaccine.","PeriodicalId":41088,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Journal of Immunology","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72619176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
