Health care workers’ attitude toward Covid-19 vaccination campaign in Armenia — A questionnaire analysis
Objective
The purpose of this study was to measure healthcare workers’ opinions at two clinics in Yerevan, Armenia on the Covid-19 vaccine as well as a hypothetical future pandemic, focusing on their views of the best way to respond to it.
Method
A survey was sent to all clinical and non-clinical staff, in 2024 and received 185 responses. The results of the survey given in 2024 were divided based on the profession of the healthcare workers, and they were compared to results from a similar survey given in 2021, that received 300 responses.
Results
The results showed that healthcare workers’ reasons for getting vaccinated have changed as the pandemic has progressed from mainly being focused on government regulations in 2021 to the need to prevent infections and complications of infections in 2024. Additionally, healthcare workers in Armenia were still mostly hesitant about vaccination in the case of a future pandemic, with only 54.6% having heard of the need to prepare for the next pandemic.
Discussion
The significance of this study stems from the understanding that specific cultural and historical factors impact vaccine hesitancy in a society. By considering what local factors affect acceptance of new vaccines in Armenia, new public health interventions can be developed for meeting the WHO goals of preparedness for “Pandemic X.” This study additionally emphasizes that the Armenian healthcare system is not prepared for the next pandemic, especially in reaching the expected threshold for herd immunity.
期刊介绍:
This review aims to compare approaches to medical ethics and bioethics in two forms, Anglo-Saxon (Ethics, Medicine and Public Health) and French (Ethique, Médecine et Politiques Publiques). Thus, in their native languages, the authors will present research on the legitimacy of the practice and appreciation of the consequences of acts towards patients as compared to the limits acceptable by the community, as illustrated by the democratic debate.
