A German study presented at the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ecmid) in Lisbon, Portugal this year (23-26 April) found that one in three health care workers are vaccinating against COVID-19 Then took sick leave
A healthy healthcare workforce is critical to responding to COVID-19 and the wider public health impact of the pandemic
However, little information is available on the incidence of side effects among health care workers
To learn more, Julia Reusch of the German University Hospital Würzburg, Würzburg and her colleagues Isabell Wagenhuser, Dr.
The researchers collected information on sick leave and side effects from 1,797 healthcare workers (aged 18 and older) using an electronic questionnaire
A total of 588 health workers (32.
Workers are most likely to call in sick after a third dose of the vaccine
Of the 5.
(Changes in the German vaccine regime meant that not enough health care workers were given a second or third dose of vector vaccine, so this information was not included in the study
People who received mRNA injections (BioNTech/Pfizer and Moderna) were most likely to call in sick after their second or third dose
With the Moderna vaccine, the sick time after the third injection was significantly longer than with the biotech/Pfizer vaccine
The relative number of self-reported side effects decreased from the first vaccine to the second and third vaccines
There was a significant difference in the number of side effects reported by those who received the BioNTech/Pfizer and Moderna vaccines
Ms Reusch said: "A considerable number of health care workers take a few days of sick leave after a vaccination
"The side effects and consequent rest periods of healthcare workers following the Covid-19 vaccine are not negligible and should be further investigated
The participants are members of the CoVacSer study, which is examining the course of COVID-19 antibodies, quality of life and long-term work ability
