Only 60% of doctors and 55% of nurses in Israel said they
would get their own children the COVID-19 vaccine when it becomes available.
Not only that, 11% added that they see the coronavirus as only a “minor
illness.”
The numbers came from a survey of 1,941 participants from
various medical settings in hospitals. In contrast, when the same survey went
to 1,112 members of the general population, 70% said they would take their
children to get the vaccine.
Of those who would decline the vaccination for their
children, 76% of both the health care workers and the general public said they
had concerns about safety. Another 13% said they were worried about side
effects of the vaccine.
