Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Strengths and limitations: This is to our knowledge, the only large-scale national study of HCW perceptions of mandatory vaccination. The size and the diversity of the sample, together with detailed information collected on participants from two waves of the UK-REACH longitudinal questionnaire, meant it was possible to examine differences in views by participant ethnicity, occupational group, age, health, and vaccination status. Responses were collected in early Summer 2021, before mandatory vaccination for health and social care staff was announced in England on 9th November 2021,12 and before the classification by the UK Health Security Agency of the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 as a variant of concern on 27th November 202136 with greater transmissibility. This may have altered attitudes towards mandatory vaccination and vaccine passports. Data collection did however coincide with the classification by the UK Government of the Delta variant as a variant of concern on 7th May 2021, with the roll-out of vaccines to all eligible adults in the UK by July 2021, and the lifting of restrictions in June 2021 after a third national lockdown.37 Indeed, since the start of the vaccine roll-out increasing data on the vaccines has continued to emerge may have influenced and continue to influence participants’ views about mandatory vaccination in a variety of ways. This includes data on rare-side effects of the vaccines,38,39 the effectiveness of Covid-19 vaccination in pregnancy,40 the ...
