Influence of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Influenza and SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination Willingness Among Dutch Nursing Home Health Care Workers
The influence of the pandemic on influenza vaccination willingness among Dutch NH HCWs appears to be temporary, underscoring the importance of addressing practical barriers to vaccine access. Concerns about the added value of vaccinations relative to trust in one's immune system or health and other preventive measures should be addressed in strategies aimed at optimizing vaccination uptake. To achieve this, a foundation of trust must first be created by neutral and factual communication and education.
