Abstract:
Given the much greater COVID-19 mortality risk experienced by people with intellectual disabilities (ID), understanding the willingness of people with ID to take a COVID-19 vaccine is a major public health issue. Eighty-seven per cent of interviewees with ID were willing to take a COVID-19 vaccine having already had a flu vaccine, gaining information about COVID-19 from television but not from social media, and knowing COVID-19 social restrictions rules. A percentage of 81.7% of surveyed carers of adults with ID with greater needs reported that the person would be willing to take a COVID-19 vaccine having a health condition of concern in the context of COVID-19. Reported willingness to take the COVID-19 vaccine is high among adults with ID, with factors associated with willingness having clear implications for public health policy and practice.
