Covid-19, vaccination intention, oral health professionals, 5C psychological antecedentsAbstract
Dentistry is regarded as a high-risk profession due to increased levels of exposure to oral secretions, aerosols and fomites that harbour infectious microorganism. Yet evidence indicates poor uptake of vaccines against HBV and, most recently, Covid-19. This study sought to investigate the predictors of Covid-19 vaccination intention among oral health professionals in South Africa.
