Post-vaccination SARS-CoV-2 infections among healthcare workers in a tertiary hospital in Ghana
In conclusion, the results of our study suggest a high incidence of post-vaccination infections among healthcare workers in the context of varying epidemic waves. Additionally, the study identified partial or incomplete vaccination, elderly workers, comorbidities, frontline workers, nurses and point-of-entry service roles as high-risk factors for post-vaccination infections. These findings reinforce the need for tailored booster strategies and strengthened protection for high-risk healthcare workers in LMIC settings.
