Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:4.1 Study limitations and strengths/future potential: This study is subject to the limitations of cross-sectional surveys, including sampling, response, and recall biases. While this work did not explore the reasons why HCWs did not register for the vaccine, it presents their initial vaccination acceptance, which needs to be explored in future studies. It should be noted that HCWs’ perceptions and vaccine hesitancy may differ from one country to another. 4.2 Conclusion: This study observed a low level of COVID-19 vaccine enrollment among HCWs during the first month of the vaccine rollout in one of the first countries to roll out the vaccine. Public health officials should scale up their efforts to increase vaccine acceptance and uptake among HCWs to match the speed of the growing pandemic. Optimizing protection of HCWs through vaccination and encouraging them to subsequently recommend vaccination to their patients is vital to curbing this global crisis.
