Abstract

Aim: This study would be the first of its kind in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, mainly to evaluate the willingness of the community to be vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus, assess attitudes towards continuing to use protective measures after getting vaccinated, and to continue to monitor changes in the spread of the COVID 19 virus after implementation of vaccination.

Method: This is a cross-sectional study, questionnaire-based survey. The study includes 302 participants from Makkah region of Saudi Arabia. Statistical analysis was performed using descriptive statistical analysis.

Result: Out of 302 participants in the research the age 21-30 was 44.4%. 61.6% of the respondents took the vaccine, and 95.4% of them want to keep using the protective measures after receiving the vaccine.

Conclusion: Healthcare providers and co-workers are willing to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Still, we strongly recommend that healthcare providers need more preparation and an evidence-based approach to address the safety and efficacy of the vaccines in the community and build and maintain public trust in the vaccine.

Keywords: Health care providers, COVID-19, Vaccination, Protective measures.
