Post-vaccination SARS-CoV-2 infections among healthcare workers in a tertiary hospital in Ghana.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Vaccines remain the most effective preventive measure against the ever-changing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus. However, vaccine access remains unequal, leaving healthcare workers in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) like Ghana at increased risk, despite early prioritisation. These inequities threaten both individual safety and the resilience of health systems. Moreover, SARS-CoV-2 infections continue to occur, particularly with emerging variants, compounding these risks. This study aimed to investigate the incidence and risk factors associated with post-vaccination SARS-CoV-2 infections among healthcare workers at a tertiary hospital in Ghana following the administration of the ChAdOx1nCoV-19 vaccine.
