Factors associated with healthcare personnel uptake of updated COVID-19 vaccine doses in the United States.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Evaluate factors associated with United States (US) healthcare personnel (HCP) uptake of an updated COVID-19 vaccine.

Methods

We analyzed data from 887 US HCP enrolled between September 25, 2023, and April 17, 2024, in a multisite case-control COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness study. Sociodemographic and attitudinal data were collected via standardized surveys, and vaccination status was verified using source documentation.

Results

Overall, 188 (21.2 %) HCP received the updated vaccine. HCP aged 50-64 years (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.02, 95 % CI: 1.11-3.67) versus ages 18-29, and HCP with undergraduate (aOR 3.75, 95 % CI: 1.97-7.12) or graduate degrees (aOR 7.73, 95 % CI: 4.10-14.55) versus high school/some college had higher odds of vaccination.
