Abstract
The general objective of the study is to collect data from health care professionals in Estonia in the framework of COVID-19 vaccination preparations in order to: (1) support the involvement of health care professionals in COVID-19 vaccination at the Estonian state level; (2) Contribute to the development of a WHO European Region Guidance Material containing recommendations for the involvement of health professionals to ensure the successful introduction of COVID-19. Under the overall objective, research questions have been raised: what are the enabling and disincentive factors experienced by healthcare professionals (doctors and nurses) to 1. recommend vaccination against COVID-19 to the general population; 2. to carry out COVID-19 vaccination of the population; 3. Vaccinate yourself against COVID-19. The first sub-goal of the study is to answer the research questions with the help of qualitative research (focus group interviews).
