Background: The availability of COVID-19 vaccines worldwide necessitates measuring healthcare workers’ (HCWs’) willingness to recommend or receive these vaccines. Therefore, we conducted a local study in Jordan to assess HCWs’ willingness to recommend or receive a third dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and the predictors of such a decision. A cross-sectional study investigated Jordanian HCWs’ willingness regarding a third dose of a COVID-19 vaccine using a self-administered online questionnaire through WhatsApp, a mobile phone application. A total of 300 HCWs participated in the current study. Of these HCWs, 65.3% were physicians, 25.3% were nurses, and 9.3% were pharmacists. HCWs’ overall willingness regarding a third vaccine dose was 68.4% (49.4% certainly and 19.0% probably), whereas the overall willingness of HCWs to recommend a third dose to their patients was 73.3% (49.0% certainly and 24.3% probably). Males had significantly higher willingness than females (82.1% vs. 60.1%, p < 0.05). Physicians reported more willingness than nurses and pharmacists. HCWs’ willingness was not significantly affected by direct contact with a patient infected with COVID-19 or by a personal history of COVID-19 infection. Only 31% of HCWs were certainly willing to recommend the vaccine to their patients with chronic diseases, and only 28% of the participants were certainly willing to recommend it to people aged 65 or older. HCWs’ willingness to receive a third dose of a COVID-19 vaccine is limited in Jordan. This has affected their certainty in recommending this vaccine to their patients or people older than 60. Decision-makers and health-promotion programs in Jordan should focus on addressing this public health problem.

Background: The literature underrepresents maternal anemia in southern Jordan, and national studies often have small sample sizes. According to the 2019 Jordan National Micronutrient Survey, maternal anemia in Jordan accounted for 19.1% of cases, with the majority experiencing mild anemia (17.1%). Among the 29 pregnant women recruited from the southern region, 56.5% had anemia, of which 34.8% had mild and 21.7% had moderate anemia. The current study provides an update on the prevalence of anemia during pregnancy in southern Jordan. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at a government referral hospital in southern Jordan. Pregnant women who visited outpatient clinics were included in the study. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews, and blood samples were collected to measure hemoglobin levels. Descriptive analyses of continuous and categorical variables were performed. Maternal anemia risk factors were assessed using the chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Statistical significance was defined at p < 0.05. Results: Of the 474 pregnant women who agreed to participate, 36.8% had anemia. Education, income, diet (number of meals and meat consumption), regularity of antenatal care, and supplement use were factors that significantly affected hemoglobin levels (p < 0.05). The adolescent pregnancy rate was 5.3%, and 48% had mild to moderate anemia. Conclusions: Maternal anemia rates in southern Jordan remained high, despite a slow decline. Reducing this burden requires improved access to healthcare and health education, particularly for rural residents who are at greater risk of disease.
