  • To identify factors contributing to vaccine hesitancy among healthcare professionals.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of vaccine administration data.
  • Review of public health records regarding vaccine disposal.

Main Results:

  • The vaccination campaign experienced low uptake among healthcare workers.
  • Concerns regarding vaccine safety and liability for adverse events were primary barriers.
