 The study aimed to understand the perceptions of healthcare providers in a tertiary children's hospital about domestic and foreign COVID-19 vaccines and to determine the frequency of hesitancy toward COVID-19 vaccination prior to its availability in Turkey. The results showed that women were more likely to be reluctant to get a domestic or foreign COVID-19 vaccine than men, and that younger healthcare providers had higher rates of vaccine hesitancy. Factors associated with vaccination intention included status as a doctor more than 10 years of professional experience and male gender.
