We assessed the uptake of COVID-19 vaccination in a community-recruited sample of people who inject drugs (PWID) in San Francisco in 2022. Overall, 72.4% (95% CI 64.6-80.3) were vaccinated for COVID-19. Independent predictors of vaccination were age 65 years and older (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 9.7, 95% CI 2.2-28.7) and ever testing positive for COVID-19 (AOR 2.0, 95% CI 1.2-3.5). Homelessness was associated with lower COVID-19 vaccination (AOR 0.5, 95% CI 0.3-0.8). Our study underscores the urgent need for targeted interventions to address unique challenges faced by PWID in accessing COVID-19 vaccination, particularly for those experiencing homelessness and who are younger.
我们评估了2022年在旧金山通过社区招募的注射吸毒者(PWID)样本中新冠疫苗的接种情况。总体而言,72.4%(95%置信区间64.6 - 80.3)的人接种了新冠疫苗。接种疫苗的独立预测因素为65岁及以上年龄(调整后比值比[AOR] 9.7,95%置信区间2.2 - 28.7)以及曾新冠病毒检测呈阳性(AOR 2.0,95%置信区间1.2 - 3.5)。无家可归与较低的新冠疫苗接种率相关(AOR 0.5,95%置信区间0.3 - 0.8)。我们的研究强调了迫切需要采取针对性干预措施,以应对注射吸毒者在获取新冠疫苗接种方面面临的独特挑战,特别是对于那些无家可归者和年轻人。
