abstract = {Background: We assessed willingness to accept vaccination against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID- 19) among healthcare workers(HCWs) at the start of South Africa's vaccination roll-out. Research Design and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey among HCWs in Cape Town in March-May 2021 and assessed predictors of vaccination intentions. Results: We recruited 395 participants; 64{\%} women, 49{\%} nurses, and 13{\%} physicians. Of these, 233 (59.0{\%}) would accept and 163 (41.0{\%}) were vaccine hesitant i.e. would either refuse or were unsure whether they would accept COVID-19 vaccination. People who did not trust that COVID-19 vaccines are effective were the most hesitant (p = 0.038). Older participants and physicians were more likely to accept vaccination than younger participants (p {\textless} 0.01) and other HCWs (p = 0.042) respectively. Other predictors of vaccine acceptance were trust that vaccines are compatible with religion (p {\textless} 0.001), consideration of benefits and risks of vaccination (p {\textless} 0.001), willingness to be vaccinated to protect others (p {\textless} 0.001), and viewing vaccination as a collective action for COVID-19 control (p = 0.029). Conclusions: COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy is high among HCWs in Cape Town. Reducing this would require trust-building interventions, including tailored education.},
