Abstract

To assess vaccination among healthcare workers, 14837 healthcare workers across 20 different hospitals were prospectively surveyed. The overall uptake of the vaccine was 13335(90%). Infection rate in vaccinated HCW was 710(6.04%) and was significantly lower than unvaccinated HCW 148(9.9%), P <.001. Uptake of vaccination among healthcare workers in our study was high and provided significant protection compared to unimmunized healthcare workers.

Keywords: COVID-19; Healthcare workers; Vaccination.
