INTRODUCTION
Dialysis patients are at increased risk of severe COVID-19 infection making vaccination a priority. We explored COVID-19 vaccine uptake and perceptions in our dialysis population, associated COVID-19 infection, and hospitalization rates.
METHODS
This is a single-center retrospective study using telephone questionnaires and hospital records to investigate COVID-19 vaccine uptake and attitudes behind vaccination status.
RESULTS
A total of 230 patients were interviewed. Vaccine uptake was 97.8% (two doses) and 86.6% (booster dose), with 79.5% vaccinated at Renal Unit. Most (58.5%) cited healthcare worker advice as a contributing factor and 54% sought protection through vaccination. COVID-19 hospitalization was higher in unvaccinated and patients vaccinated with one dose, compared to two doses (63.2% vs. 20%, p = 0.05) and booster dose (63.2% vs. 22.2%, p = 0.02).
CONCLUSION
Our dialysis population recognized the importance of COVID-19 vaccination. Intensive patient education and easy access to the COVID-19 vaccine may have facilitated vaccine uptake in these patients.
简介
透析患者感染严重 COVID-19 的风险增加，使接种疫苗成为当务之急。我们探讨了透析患者的 COVID-19 疫苗接种率和认知，以及相关的 COVID-19 感染和住院率。
方法
这是一项单中心回顾性研究，使用电话问卷调查和医院记录来调查 COVID-19 疫苗接种情况以及接种状况背后的态度。
结果
共对 230 名患者进行了访谈。疫苗接种率为 97.8%（两剂）和 86.6%（加强针），79.5%在肾脏科接种。大多数人（58.5%）表示医护人员的建议是一个促成因素，54%的人通过接种疫苗寻求保护。与接种两剂疫苗相比，未接种疫苗和接种一剂疫苗的患者 COVID-19 住院率更高（63.2%比 20%，p=0.05）和加强针（63.2%比 22.2%，p=0.02）。
结论
我们的透析患者认识到了 COVID-19 疫苗接种的重要性。对患者进行强化教育以及方便接种 COVID-19 疫苗可能促进了这些患者的疫苗接种。
