People living with HIV (PLHIV) are at increased risk of COVID-19 related morbidity and mortality. We describe the effect of a 'One-Stop-Shop' intervention on COVID-19 vaccine uptake among PLHIV in Nairobi and Kajiado Counties, Kenya. All PLHIV in selected HIV clinics in Nairobi and Kajiado were included. They received the COVID-19 vaccine alongside other PLHIV services within the HIV clinics. Descriptive statistics, Pearson's chi-square test and two sample proportion tests were performed. COVID-19 vaccine uptake among PLHIV in both counties increased post-intervention. Nairobi County had 61% COVID-19 vaccine uptake post intervention compared to 38% pre intervention while Kajiado County had 72% uptake, up from 49% pre intervention. Females had the highest post intervention uptake in both counties at 52% (Nairobi) and 54% (Kajiado). In conclusion, COVID-19 vaccine uptake among PLHIV increased after implementation of the One-Stop-Shop intervention.
感染艾滋病毒的人(PLHIV)感染新冠肺炎后发病和死亡的风险增加。我们描述了一项“一站式服务”干预措施对肯尼亚内罗毕和卡贾多县感染艾滋病毒者接种新冠疫苗的影响。纳入了内罗毕和卡贾多选定艾滋病毒诊所的所有感染艾滋病毒者。他们在艾滋病毒诊所内与其他艾滋病毒服务一起接种了新冠疫苗。进行了描述性统计、皮尔逊卡方检验和双样本比例检验。干预后,两个县感染艾滋病毒者的新冠疫苗接种率均有所提高。内罗毕县干预后新冠疫苗接种率为61%,而干预前为38%;卡贾多县接种率为72%,高于干预前的49%。两个县干预后女性接种率最高,内罗毕为52%,卡贾多为54%。总之,实施“一站式服务”干预措施后,感染艾滋病毒者的新冠疫苗接种率有所提高。
