The current cross-sectional descriptive study aimed to explore the association between coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related health literacy, perceived risk, and intention to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. A sample of 414 older adults completed several questionnaires regarding COVID-19 risk perception, intention to vaccinate, and health literacy. Results revealed that more than one half of older adults demonstrated perceived high risk related to COVID-19 infection. Moreover, 31.6% of older adults noted their unwillingness to get vaccinated, and 39.4% demonstrated low health literacy regarding COVID-19. A significant positive correlation was found among older adults' perceived risk regarding COVID-19 infection, intention toward vaccination against COVID-19, and COVID-19-related health literacy. Findings serve to aid the Ministry of Health in planning proactive steps to increase COVID-19 vaccine uptake in older adults. [(2), 57-67.].
本横断面描述性研究旨在探讨 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）相关健康素养、感知风险与接种 COVID-19 疫苗意愿之间的关系。一项由 414 名老年人参与的样本完成了关于 COVID-19 风险感知、接种意愿和健康素养的几个问卷。结果显示，超过一半的老年人认为 COVID-19 感染的风险较高。此外，31.6%的老年人表示不愿意接种疫苗，39.4%的老年人对 COVID-19 的健康素养较低。老年人对 COVID-19 感染的感知风险、对 COVID-19 疫苗接种的意愿以及 COVID-19 相关健康素养之间存在显著正相关。研究结果有助于卫生部规划积极措施，提高老年人对 COVID-19 疫苗的接种率。[(2), 57-67.]。
