Relationship Between the Use of Nonpharmaceutical Interventions and COVID-19 Vaccination Among U.S. Child Care Providers: A Prospective Cohort Study
Published: December 2021
Researchers analyzed the likelihood of child care providers using nonpharmaceutical preventative measures, such as hand washing, when vaccinated vs. unvaccinated.
In a survey of child care workers across the country and Puerto Rico, individuals were asked questions about their own personal health and safety habits (e.g., hand washing) and their classroom health and safety measures (e.g., staff and child symptom screening). Results showed that individuals utilizing fewer personal health safety measures were less likely to be vaccinated, supporting mandated vaccination as a means for pandemic control.
