[...]non-antibody testing for COVID-19 as early as February 2020 suggested that because of the high false-negative rate, additional measures, such as imaging, should be used in conjunction with non-antibody testing for clinical decision-making [9]. The results of our survey demonstrate unanimous agreement that healthcare workers should be the first to receive a vaccine and that the majority of respondents, roughly 61%, agree that they would be willing to receive a vaccine under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA).
