Abstract

Introduction: We evaluated uptake and factors associated with COVID-19 vaccination among health workers (HWs) in Azerbaijan. Results: Among 1575 HWs, 73% had received at least one dose, and 67% received two doses; all received CoronaVac. Factors associated with vaccination uptake included no previous COVID-19 infection, older age, belief in the vaccine's safety, previous vaccination for influenza, having patient-facing roles and good or excellent health by self-assessment. Conclusion: These findings could inform strategies to increase vaccination uptake as the campaign continues.
