As the impact of coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 arises worldwide, the effect of vaccines is protecting its importance. The aim of this study was to investigate the vaccination perspectives of patients and learn how many patients were persuaded to get vaccinated with the effect of the education provided by allergists.
A cross-sectional study was carried out among 200 adult patients in the outpatient clinic between February 2021 and January 2022. Patients filled out the anti-vaccination scale form and a questionnaire form developed by allergists. The training about COVID-19 vaccines has been given to the patients who did not consider getting vaccinated. The patients were called by phone and questioned whether they have been vaccinated or not, after 22 weeks.
Out of 200 patients participants, 60.5% were considering getting vaccinated. Patients who did not consider getting vaccinated comprised 45.7% of women and 31% of men. While 52.4% of primary school graduates considered getting vaccinated, 75% of high school graduates and 60.8% of higher education graduates were considering getting vaccinated. Major reasons for rejecting vaccination were concerns about side effects and allergy. While the majority of women (47.2%) who did not want to get vaccinated were concerned about vaccine side effects, the majority of men (34.6%) did not want to get vaccinated because they did not trust the efficacy of the vaccine. Vaccination rates have been increased with the training we provided to our patients who did not consider getting the vaccine. 76 patients could be reached by phone and 81.6% of them were vaccinated, and 18.4% were not.
The vaccination rates of allergy patients who did not consider getting vaccinated were increased with the information provided by allergists. So, the allergists should give more attention for giving information and increasing the vaccination rates of covid-19.
随着冠状病毒病（COVID）-19在全球范围内产生影响，疫苗的作用愈发重要。本研究旨在调查患者对疫苗接种的看法，并了解有多少患者因过敏科医生提供的教育而被说服接种疫苗。
2021年2月至2022年1月期间，在门诊对200名成年患者进行了一项横断面研究。患者填写了反疫苗接种量表和过敏科医生制定的问卷。已对未考虑接种疫苗的患者进行了关于COVID-19疫苗的培训。22周后通过电话联系患者，询问他们是否已接种疫苗。
在200名参与研究的患者中，60.5%的患者考虑接种疫苗。未考虑接种疫苗者中，女性占45.7%，男性占31%。小学毕业生中52.4%考虑接种疫苗，高中毕业生中有75%、高等教育毕业生中有60.8%考虑接种疫苗。拒绝接种疫苗的主要原因是担心副作用和过敏。在不想接种疫苗的女性中，大多数（47.2%）担心疫苗副作用；而在不想接种疫苗的男性中，大多数（34.6%）是因为不信任疫苗的效力。通过对未考虑接种疫苗的患者提供培训，接种率有所提高。通过电话联系到了76名患者，其中81.6%接种了疫苗，18.4%未接种疫苗。
未考虑接种疫苗的过敏患者的接种率因过敏科医生提供的信息而有所提高。因此，过敏科医生应更加重视提供信息并提高COVID-19的接种率。
