Abstract

Background: Vaccination of health providers is one of the priorities in response to COVID-19. The objective of this study was to identify factors associated with the uptake of the second dose of Sinopharm by health workers in the Koumpentoum health district. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical survey. A semi-structured closed questionnaire with items on socio-demographic characteristics, history and vaccination against COVID-19 was distributed to health workers. Multiple logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with taking the second Sinopharm dose. Results: In total, we had (168) respondents of whom (59.95%) were women. The mean age was (37.05 ±9.76) years and the median (30) years. Almost all of them, (85.71%), were living with a partner. Unskilled workers represented (74.4%) of respondents. The average length of professional experience was (8.51 ± 5.81) years with median of (7) years. Incidence of co-morbidities was (8.93%), this of the COVID-19 (10.12%) and this of adverse events (16.67%). The second dose coverage of Sinopharm was (82.74%) and the statically and significantly associated factors were age > (35 years (ORa = 4.51 [1.71-11.91]; p = 0.0023), living with a partner (ORa = 4.11 [1.36-12.45]; p = 0.0123) and work experience > (5) years (ORa = 3.15 [1.09-9.08]; p = 0.0331). Conclusion: Factors related to vaccination of health workers against COVID-19 in Koumpentoum district are age, marital status and work experience. Training and vaccination of young health workers should be a prerequisite for the plan to revive and intensify vaccination against COVID-19.
