“…In this study on COVID-19 booster vaccination willingness in patients with chronic kidney disease, it was discovered that, overall, 78.2% of respondents stated their intention to receive a COVID-19 vaccine booster, and 25.7% reported a definite intention. A recent study survey from China among 350 CKD patients showed that around 70.29% of the respondents reported their willingness to receive a COVID-19 booster vaccine dose [ 19 ]. When compared to a recent study conducted among patients with another chronic medical condition (inflammatory bowel disease) in Kuwait that reported only 58.1% acceptance, the willingness to receive a COVID-19 vaccination booster dose was higher in our study [ 22 ].…”

Objective: Vaccination hesitance for the COVID-19 booster dosage among hemodialysis patients is an important barrier in reducing morbidity and mortality linked to COVID-19 infection. Hence, this study aimed to explore the predictors of the third (booster) dose of COVID-19 vaccine intention among CKD patients on hemodialysis from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Methods: This study was a multi-center cross-sectional study conducted at four dialysis centers in KSA from 13 February 2022 to 21 June 2022. The data was collected by the nephrologist in charge of the unit using a structured study questionnaire, which consisted of four parts; socio-demographic and clinical variables, questions about COVID-19 infection and subjective assessment of health state, COVID-19 booster dose vaccination intention and confidence in vaccines and preferences, and a health belief model. The study population consisted of 179 hemodialysis patients. Results: Participants in the study had conflicting health beliefs about their vulnerability to COVID-19 infection and the severity of the COVID-19 infection. Study participants expressed positive health beliefs about the advantages of the COVID-19 booster dose, and reported less perceived obstacles in receiving the vaccine. The influence of cues on action among the study population was high. A total of 140 (78.2%) hemodialysis patients expressed their intention to receive the COVID-19 booster dose. Patients who reported poor health in the self-rating of their health status had a substantially higher definite intention to take the COVID-19 booster dose, according to the chi-square test (11.16, df = 3, p = 0.01). There was a significant association between the constructs in the HBM model and COVID-19 vaccine (booster) intention. Marital status (OR = 1.67, CI 1.07–2.58) was found to be the strongest predictors of a definite intention to receive a COVID-19 booster dose. Confidence in the locally manufactured vaccine (OR = 0.33, CI 0.17–0.60), education (OR = 0.62, CI 0.41–0.93), and rating of health status (OR = 0.43 CI 0.25–0.74) were the strongest significant correlates of having no definite intention to take the COVID-19 vaccination. Conclusions: HBM constructs were found to be significantly associated with vaccination intention, which can be considered while planning policies to promote COVID-19 booster vaccination among hemodialysis patients. The study results could be utilized in drafting policies to improve COVID-19 booster dose vaccination uptake among hemodialysis population.

“…However, few studies have examined CKD patients’ resistance to receiving the COVID-19 booster dose. Only 70.29% of research participants with CKD were willing to get a booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccination, according to a recent Chinese study [ 19 ].…”
