Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Even for employees who reported employer requirements, 9.4% remained unvaccinated – this may be the result of the time between the announcements and enforcement of employer requirements, the presence of religious and medical exemptions, degree of enforcement in employer policies, as well as limitations in survey self-report. Vaccination requirements were associated with greater confidence in the importance and safety of COVID-19 vaccines. NIS-ACM’s cross-sectional design precludes conclusions on the directionality of vaccination attitudes and vaccination status – it is possible that vaccination requirements were imposed on HCP with greater confidence in COVID-19 vaccines. However, it is also possible that receipt of COVID-19 vaccines induces greater confidence in its safety and importance, a pattern of post-hoc attitudinal changes seen in other vaccinations and health behavior (Levy-Bruhl, 2019; Hall, 2018). Employer vaccination requirements may also have a role in converting vaccination intent into action. For HCP who report employer requirements, the percentage of vaccinated HCP approximates the percentage who said that the vaccination is important to protect themselves – at 90.5% and 89.6% respectively. For HCP without employer requirements, while 79.6% said that the COVID-19 vaccine is important to protect themselves, only 73.3% are vaccinated. Finally, employer requirements for HCP vaccinations have come months after the initial availability of COVID-19 vaccines in the U...
