Summary

Healthcare workers (HCWs) play a vital role in determining the success of vaccination programs. Patient acceptance and vaccination rely greatly on the utilization and attitude of HCWs towards the vaccine, their attitude also influences patients' adherence to vaccination schedules and their hesitancy. HCWs themselves can be hesitant about a certain vaccine and thus can transfer their negative attitudes to their patients, increasing vaccine hesitancy among the general population. Frontline HCWs are at an increased risk of exposure to COVID-19 due to their direct contact with their patients, working hours, psychological stress and job burnout, they also face stigma. Dental health professionals in particular are at an increased risk due to their occupational hazards that include continuous exposure to body fluids and aerosols, this increases their risk of contracting COVID-19. Therefore vaccinating healthcare workers will be beneficial, not only for themselves, but also for their households and patients.
