While many frontline health care workers have been eager to get vaccinated, some in Tennessee are opting out. State officials are seeing signs of more hesitancy than they expected in hospitals.
The state originally figured only about 70% of hospital staff would take the COVID-19 vaccine. Some might not want to because they're pregnant. Others may have broader concerns about the safety of the vaccine.
But hospitals are seeing even more reluctance than expected, says Dr. Lisa Piercey, who leads the Tennessee Department of Health and this was supposed to be the easiest group to convince.
State officials are growing more concerned about the uptake among first responders, who are next in line after nursing home staff and residents. Out of more than 100 EMTs, firefighters and sheriff's deputies in one county the state surveyed, just three said they want the vaccine.
