Despite different vaccines being produced around the globe, the spread of the virus is still uncontrolled. In particular, the shortage of vaccines in low-income countries is one of the key factors hindering efforts to reduce the spread of the virus. Even though evidence has been provided by different responsible bodies, there are still multiple beliefs and misconceptions about COVID-19 vaccination that have not yet been addressed. Nowadays, vaccine hesitancy is one of the top ten threats to global health, arising from the unwillingness of chronic patients to receive the vaccine. Chronic disease patients in low-resource settings are fearful of taking the vaccine because of a shortage of information about the COVID-19 vaccine. Therefore, the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine among chronic disease patients should be studied more widely in low-resource settings.Keywords: COVID-19, acceptance, chronic care patientsBekele FFekadu GWolde TFBekelcho LWDove Medical Pressarticlecovid-19acceptancechronic care patientsMedicine (General)R5-920ENPatient Preference and Adherence, Vol Volume 15, Pp 2519-2521 (2021) |
