Brief summary

The purpose of this administrative survey is to inform health system logistics by assessing the attitudes towards towards the bivalent COVID-19 boosters held by healthcare workers (HCWs) at a large, rural health system. It will also test, prospectively, the effect on interest in the bivalent COVID-19 booster of different framing approaches in a survey question sent to employees of a large, rural health system.

Detailed description

The Food and Drug Administration has authorized two bivalent COVID-19 boosters with the expectation that the Centers for Disease Control will soon recommend them. The researchers plan to survey the HCWs at a large, rural health system on their attitudes on the bivalent booster. This survey will gather data on HCWs' interest in a bivalent booster, reasons for hesitancy, risk perception about COVID-19 infection and its complications, and prior COVID-19 infection and vaccination. Respondents will also be randomly assigned to see different versions of the question asking if they are interested in a bivalent booster with different framing approaches, such as protection of the self or protection of patients (for patient-facing employees). Information on prior vaccination and perceptions of risk will also be gathered and used as covariates in the analysis.
