Background: The determination of the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine by the health personnel will also be a guide for the upcoming vaccination studies. The aim of this study is to determine the acceptance status of COVID-19 vaccine amongst healthcare professionals. Materials and methods: A total of 1138 healthcare workers participated in this cross-sectional study between 17th and 20th of September, 2020. The questionnaire, which was delivered via social media, was filled out by the participants over "Google Forms." Results: As a result of the questionnaire, 68.6% of the healthcare professionals stated that they could be vaccinated. Men, students, the younger age group, and those who had a previous flu shot were all willing to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Conclusions: Efforts to increase the knowledge of healthcare professionals about the new vaccine and to eliminate their doubts and concerns are important.
