    My piece in the @nytimes “Why Are So Many of My Fellow Health Workers Unvaccinated?” covers not only the importance of vaccinating healthcare workers but the need to keep the conversation going A brief thread on a bit more insight 🧵https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/28/opinion/vaccine-hesitancy-health-workers-covid.html?referringSource=articleShare …

        2) As of early March 2021, surveys showed that nearly half of frontline health care workers remained unvaccinated, even though this group has been eligible for a Covid-19 vaccine since December 2020.

        3) As healthcare systems grapple with increasing employee vaccination rates, mandating Covid-19 vaccines is an option (and i’m all for it) but not an easy one. Legal, ethical, social considerations factor in, including the impact to new employee recruitment.

        4) While 58% of employed healthcare workers support a vaccine mandate, 42% oppose it and within that, nearly two-thirds say they would leave their job if they were required to take it, according to a partnership survey from the Kaiser Family Foundation.

        5) This comes at a perilous time when the pandemic has already exposed the consequences of having an insufficient number of healthcare workers in the U.S. to begin with. The need to factor in how many would leave the workforce is imperative.

        6) I lay out a few voluntary options beyond the education approach. This includes the opt-out approach (all unvaccinated get an automatic appt) Offering various incentives like time off, free items, etc And requiring routine testing for those unvaccinated

        7) Conversations matter. The decision to get the COVID19 vaccine lies on a continuum I continue the conversation even today with colleagues and our home health aides. Just b/c some people say they don’t want to get vaccinated now, it doesn’t mean they won’t do so later.

        It certainly doesn't help the rest of the unvaccinated population get over their hesitancy when they hear many health care workers aren't getting the vaccine. They assume "they must know something."

        Many healthcare workers had COVID. So maybe they realize they don’t need the vaccine.

        Immune response is much weaker in previously infected than with the vaccine.
