Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a major global health challenge, with high morbidity and mortality. Despite different vaccines being produced around the globe, the spread of the virus is still uncontrolled. In particular, the shortage of vaccines in low-income countries is one of the key factors hindering efforts to reduce the spread of the virus. Even though evidence has been provided by different responsible bodies, there are still multiple beliefs and misconceptions about COVID-19 vaccination that have not yet been addressed. Nowadays, vaccine hesitancy is one of the top ten threats to global health, arising from the unwillingness of chronic patients to receive the vaccine. Chronic disease patients in low-resource settings are fearful of taking the vaccine because of a shortage of information about the COVID-19 vaccine. Therefore, the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine among chronic disease patients should be studied more widely in low-resource settings.
2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）已成为一项重大的全球卫生挑战，发病率和死亡率都很高。尽管全球各地都在生产不同的疫苗，但病毒的传播仍未得到控制。特别是，低收入国家疫苗短缺是阻碍减少病毒传播努力的关键因素之一。尽管不同的责任机构已经提供了证据，但关于COVID-19疫苗接种仍存在多种信念和误解，尚未得到解决。如今，疫苗犹豫是全球卫生面临的十大威胁之一，这源于慢性病患者不愿意接种疫苗。资源匮乏地区的慢性病患者因缺乏关于COVID-19疫苗的信息而害怕接种疫苗。因此，在资源匮乏地区应更广泛地研究慢性病患者对COVID-19疫苗的接受情况。
