ABSTRACT=Background: We aim to explore potential healthcare worker´s concerns about the monkeypox virus in order to create practical solutions to manage this disease. Methods: Online cross-sectional research was conducted in many Arabic countries (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Syria, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Iraq, Palestine, Jordan, and Sudan) from 2 August to 28 December 2022. Results:  About 82% of respondents felt the need to acquire further information. The acceptability of the vaccine against monkeypox has been indicated by more than half of the participants (54.5%). As well, we define that 45% of the participants are knowledgeable about the monkeypox virus, and 53.1% of people who have never had COVID-19 before are more worried about COVID-19 than monkeypox. Participants diagnosed with COVID-19 were 0.63 times less likely to worry about monkeypox than those who had not. A greater willingness to get the monkeypox vaccination was seen among those ages 21 to 30 (42.4%) compared to other age groups. Conclusion: Most healthcare professionals have a moderate knowledge of the monkeypox virus. In addition to having a low willingness to get the vaccination against the monkeypox virus.
