About 30 percent of health workers are reluctant to take Covid-19 vaccines citing safety concerns, need for more information, fear of side effects, and lack of trust in the government or the vaccine.
Others claim that the short duration that vaccine development has taken and concerns on efficacy make them jittery. Perceived low risk of infection, an expectation of herd immunity, concerns why healthcare workers should be vaccinated first before politicians and other populations, and a fear of the unknown, also account for reasons why medics are shunning the vaccine.
