Researchers investigated the relationship between state COVID-19 vaccination mandates for healthcare workers and vaccination rates among them.
By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaReviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc.Aug 19 2024 In a recent study published in JAMA Network Open, researchers investigated the relationship between state coronavirus disease 2019 vaccination mandates for healthcare workers and vaccination rates among them.
About the study In the present cross-sectional study, researchers examined the impact of COVID-19 vaccination regulations on United States healthcare professionals. They investigated whether the association changed based on mandate stringency, test-out option availability, and HCW age. Researchers stratified the sample by COVID-19 test availability instead of vaccinations and by HCW age to evaluate heterogeneous associations. Study covariates included age, sex, race, ethnicity, education, marital status, household income, and COVID-19 intensity. Researchers measured pandemic intensity based on state-level fatalities two weeks before every survey week in 2021. They incorporated survey weights denoting the inverse probabilities of sampling individuals into the HPS study.
