COVID-19 vaccination remains essential for healthcare professionals: clinical evidence from a Polish cross-sectional study
Introduction: Six years after the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, vaccination remains still central to preventing severe COVID-19. The aim was to determine the impact of the vaccine type and number of doses on the course of COVID-19 infection among Polish healthcare professionals. Methods: From November 2021 to February 2022, 813 people took part in a survey, including 625 women (76.9%) and 188 men (23.1%). Results: < 0.0001). Conclusion: The type of preparation taken did not affect the re-infection with the coronavirus, its course and the risk of complications. Vaccinated people were significantly less likely to be hospitalized due to COVID-19. There was no significant relationship between the number of doses of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and the occurrence of COVID-19 after their administration.
