Sociodemographic and Occupational Factors Associated With COVID-19 Vaccine and Influenza Vaccine Uptake Among Healthcare Workers, in Albania, 2022–2023: A Multicenter Study
Among HCWs, primary series COVID-19 vaccine coverage was high, but COVID-19 booster doses and seasonal influenza vaccines were low. Findings related to age and sex differences among HCW groups with low vaccine uptake, as well as their knowledge and attitudes toward vaccines, should inform targeted strategies to improve COVID-19 and influenza vaccine uptake, particularly among younger HCWs, female HCWs, and nonphysicians.
