We conducted a survey to assess vaccination coverage, vaccination willingness, and variables associated with vaccination hesitancy to provide evidence on coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccination strategies. This anonymous questionnaire study conducted a multicenter, cross-sectional survey of outpatients and inpatients with epilepsy (PWE) registered in epilepsy clinics, in 2021, in 10 hospitals in seven cities of Shandong Province. A total of 600 questionnaires were distributed, and 557 valid questionnaires were returned. A total of 130 people were vaccinated against COVID-19. Among 427 unvaccinated participants, 69.32% (296/427) were willing to receive the COVID-19 vaccine in the future, and the remaining 30.68% (131/427) were unwilling to receive vaccination. Most (89.9%) of the participants believed that the role of vaccination was crucial in response to the spread of COVID-19. A significant association was found between willingness to receive the COVID-19 vaccine and the following variables: age, marital status, level of education, occupation, residence, seizure type, and seizure control after antiepileptic drug therapy. It is noteworthy that education level, living in urban areas, and seizure freedom were significantly related to willingness to receive COVID-19 vaccination. Vaccination is a key measure for the prevention and control of COVID-19, and most PWE are willing to be vaccinated. Vaccine safety, effectiveness, and accessibility are essential in combatting vaccine hesitation and increasing vaccination rates.
我们开展了一项调查，以评估疫苗接种覆盖率、接种意愿以及与接种犹豫相关的变量，为冠状病毒病（COVID-19）疫苗接种策略提供依据。这项匿名问卷调查研究于2021年在山东省七个城市的10家医院对癫痫门诊和住院患者（PWE）进行了多中心横断面调查。共发放问卷600份，回收有效问卷557份。共有130人接种了COVID-19疫苗。在427名未接种的参与者中，69.32%（296/427）愿意在未来接种COVID-19疫苗，其余30.68%（131/427）不愿意接种。大多数（89.9%）参与者认为接种疫苗在应对COVID-19传播方面起着关键作用。在接受COVID-19疫苗接种的意愿与以下变量之间发现了显著关联：年龄、婚姻状况、教育程度、职业、居住地、癫痫发作类型以及抗癫痫药物治疗后的癫痫控制情况。值得注意的是，教育程度、居住在城市地区以及癫痫发作得到控制与接受COVID-19疫苗接种的意愿显著相关。接种疫苗是预防和控制COVID-19的关键措施，大多数PWE愿意接种。疫苗的安全性、有效性和可及性对于消除疫苗犹豫和提高接种率至关重要。
