Consequently, Correctional Officers (COs) faced increased risk of COVID-19 exposure. Given the health benefits of COVID-19 vaccination and the rise in vaccine hesitancy, this study aims to examine the relationship between COs health beliefs and COVID-19 vaccine uptake.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A health beliefs survey was administered to Massachusetts-based COs (n=118).
