Additional survey variables included demographic and occupational characteristics, prior experiences with vaccination, perceptions of disease severity and vaccine safety and effectiveness. Multilevel mixed effect multivariable logistic regression was used, accounting for variability at provincial and hospital levels.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall, 2,180 HCP were surveyed. Three-quarters (74.8%) reported influenza vaccination in the most recent season, and 58.1% intended to receive COVID-19 vaccination annually in the future. Previous influenza vaccination was strongly associated with reported vaccination in the current season (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.94, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.68\u20133.23). For future COVID-19 vaccination, perceived vaccine safety was strongly associated (aOR 3.49, 95% CI 3.18\u20133.84). Perceived disease severity was higher for COVID-19 than for influenza, but perceived vaccine safety and effectiveness were higher for influenza than for COVID-19. The most common barrier to influenza vaccination was insufficient time to get vaccinated (23.7%); whereas the most common barrier for COVID-19 vaccination was vaccine safety concern (30.0%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Improving vaccination coverage among HCP might need different approaches for influenza and COVID-19 vaccines.
