Considering my primary residence is Québec, Canada although I do own a home in the United States...there's an interesting aspect to the vaccine hesitancy among Healthcare workers (HCWs)...
Females are more accepting of the vaccine than males. Also, as I showed in the prior survey messages...Doctors (AMA) are more accepting of the Covid vaccine than Nurses (ANA).
I like the Canada surveys (first one posted below) because they get into more about the reasons why someone refuses or accepted vaccination among the Healthcare Workers.
Covid-19 vaccine acceptance, hesitancy, and refusal among Canadian healthcare workers: A multicenter survey
Methods
Cross-sectional survey across 17 healthcare institutions. HCWs eligible for vaccination (Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA) in December 2020 were invited to receive immunization. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify predictors of acceptance. Reasons for refusal among those who never intended to be vaccinated (ie, firm refusers) and those who preferred delaying vaccination (ie, vaccine hesitants) were assessed.
Results
Among those who declined, 74% reported they may accept future vaccination. Vaccine firm refusers were more likely than vaccine hesitants to distrust pharmaceutical companies and to prefer developing a natural immunity by getting COVID-19.
Conclusions
Vaccine hesitancy exists among HCWs. Our findings provide useful information to plan future interventions and improve acceptance....
I do have many more links of Medical Professionals Vaccination Survey in France...that are in great contrast to surveys in North America. Unfortunately, none of them are available in English.

Results
- Among 2,761 respondents (72% female, average age, 44), 2,233 (80.9%) accepted the vaccine.
Among those who declined, 74% reported they may accept future vaccination. Vaccine firm refusers were more likely than vaccine hesitants to distrust pharmaceutical companies and to prefer developing a natural immunity by getting COVID-19.
