Survey: Slightly more than one-half of US frontline healthcare workers have received at least 1 dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. But some still plan not to get vaccinated at all.

The survey, conducted February 11 through March 7, also found that nearly one-third (30%) of health care workers who responded are either unsure about getting vaccinated or do not plan to do so.
