This paper reports the results of a survey assessing the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine among patients with cancer. In total, 111 adult patients with cancer from a single institution were asked to complete a questionnaire designed to assess their knowledge about the vaccine, their readiness to be vaccinated and the determinants of their decision. 61.3% of the patients considered themselves more vulnerable to COVID-19 than the general population. Television, radio and newspapers were the major sources of information about the vaccine. A total of 55% of the patients were ready to be vaccinated and 14.4% refused the vaccine. The main reason for refusal was incompatibility with patients' disease or treatment. Most of the patients in this institutional sample accepted the COVID-19 vaccine. Better communication of information with patients is needed to decrease vaccine hesitancy.
这篇论文报告了一项评估癌症患者对 COVID-19 疫苗接受程度的调查结果。总共，来自一家机构的 111 名成年癌症患者被要求完成一份问卷，旨在评估他们对疫苗的了解程度、接种意愿以及决策的决定因素。61.3%的患者认为自己比一般人群更容易感染 COVID-19。电视、广播和报纸是疫苗信息的主要来源。总共 55%的患者准备接种疫苗，而 14.4%的患者拒绝接种疫苗。拒绝接种的主要原因是与患者疾病或治疗不兼容。在这个机构样本中，大多数患者接受了 COVID-19 疫苗。需要与患者更好地沟通信息，以减少疫苗犹豫。
