Abstract
Background Health Care Workers (HCWs) have been playing crucial role in treating patient with COVID-19. They have a higher occupational risk of contracting the disease than the general population, and a greater chance of them transmitting the disease to vulnerable patients under their care. Given their scarcity and low COVID-19 vaccine acceptance in Africa, it is essential that HCWs are seroprotected and their exposure to COVID-19 minimized. This study was therefore designed to determine IgG antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 among HCWs in North Eastern, Tanzania.
