Course: COVID-19 Vaccination Perspectives and Illnesses Among Law Enforcement Officers, Firefighters, and Other First Responders in the US, January to September 2021

CME Credits: 1.00

Released: 2022-07-19

Law enforcement officers, firefighters, and other first responders are at increased risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection compared with health care personnel but have relatively low COVID-19 vaccine uptake. COVID-19 was the leading cause of line-of-duty deaths among US law enforcement officers in 2021 (323 of 482 deaths [67%]). Using data from the Arizona HEROES (Healthcare, Emergency Response, and Other Essential Workers Study) and RECOVER (Research on the Epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 in Essential Response Personnel) cohorts, we assessed attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination and illness burden among vaccinated and unvaccinated first responders.
