To assess beliefs about safety, effectiveness, and delivery of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine among chronic Gastroenterology and Hepatology patients at an academic health system.
We asked about vaccine beliefs, vaccine concerns, and preferred location to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
A total of 1,215 patients responded (response rate: 37%). Most patients believed that vaccines are safe, effective, and that they would take the COVID-19 vaccine at a medical office or pharmacy. However, we identified important sociodemographic factors associated with vaccine hesitancy.
Patients have high level of trust in the COVID-19 vaccine and are likely to follow their specialist physician recommendations.

我们询问了患者对疫苗的看法、对疫苗的担忧以及他们希望在哪里接种 COVID-19 疫苗。
共有 1215 名患者做出了回应（回应率：37%）。大多数患者认为疫苗是安全有效的，他们会在医疗办公室或药房接种 COVID-19 疫苗。然而，我们发现了一些与疫苗犹豫相关的重要社会人口学因素。
患者对 COVID-19 疫苗有高度的信任，并可能遵循他们的专科医生的建议。
