Objective: To identify the determinants of the acceptability and skepticism of health workers about the anticovid-19 vaccination during the covid-19 pandemic in Senegal. Material and methods: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive study carried out among health personnel in the Sangalkam Health District from May 1 to May 15, 2021. A questionnaire was sent to the various health professional categories in the district. Anonymity and confidentiality were guaranteed. The data collected was entered and processed with Excel version 2013 software. Results: The participation rate was 82.5% (n = 140). Women represented 83.6% (n = 117). The average age of the respondents was 36.8 years. The average number of years of experience was 9.8 years. Nursing aides were more represented (23.6%). The vaccine rate was 87.1% (n = 122). The inactivated BIBP vaccine (Sinopharm) was the most administered (93.4%). The side effects were minor or even moderate and affected 30.3% of the vaccinees. On the other hand, 12.9% (n = 18) of the respondents were not vaccinated. The main determinants of vaccine acceptance were concern for protection (68%) and compliance with instructions from the hierarchy (29.5%). Mistrust of the information received (61.1%), fear of rumors (57.2%) and side effects (28.6%) were the main reasons for vaccine refusal. Conclusion: Awareness and communication are essential to remove barriers to anticovid-19 vaccination and increase acceptability.

Objectif: Identifier les déterminants de l’acceptabilité et du scepticisme du personnel de santé sur la vaccination anticovid-19 durant la pandémie de la covid-19 au Sénégal. Matériel et Méthodes: Il s’agissait d’une étude transversale, descriptive, menée chez le personnel de santé du District Sanitaire de Sangalkam du 1ier Mai au 15 Mai 2021. Un questionnaire était adressé aux différentes catégories professionnelles de santé du district. L’anonymat et la confidentialité étaient garantis. Les données recueillies étaient saisies et traitées avec le logiciel Excel version 2013. Résultats: Le taux de participation était de 82,5% (n=140). Les femmes représentaient 83,6% (n=117). La moyenne d’âge des enquêtés était de 36,8 ans. Le nombre moyen d’année d’expérience était de 9,8 ans. Les aides infirmiers étaient plus représentés (23,6%). Le taux de vaccinés était de 87,1% (n=122). Le vaccin inactivé BIBP (Sinopharm) était le plus administré (93,4%). Les effets secondaires étaient mineurs voire modérés et affectaient 30,3% des vaccinés. Par contre, 12,9% (n=18) des enquêtés n’étaient pas vaccinés. Les principaux déterminants de l’acceptation vaccinale étaient le souci de protection (68%) et le respect des instructions venant de la hiérarchie (29,5%). Par contre, la méfiance sur les informations reçues (61,1%), la peur des rumeurs (57,2%) et des effets secondaires (28,6%) étaient les raisons principales du refus vaccinal. Conclusion: La sensibilisation et la communication sont essentielles pour lever les obstacles entravant la vaccination anticovid-19 et accroître l'acceptabilité.
