Sumario:WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC? Public health workers (PHWs) were listed as a priority group recommended for influenza vaccination during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Understanding the drivers of influenza vaccine hesitancy among PHWs can promote influenza vaccination in the COVID-19 pandemic. WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT? The study found that 10.7% of PHWs were hesitant to get an influenza vaccination. Drivers associated with vaccine hesitancy were assessed based on “3Cs model.” The absence of a government or workplace requirement and concerns about vaccine safety were the biggest obstacles for PHWs to recommend influenza vaccination. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE? Interventions are needed to improve PHWs’ influenza vaccine coverage to prevent the co-circulation of influenza and COVID-19.
