Correspondence: Risk perception of COVID-19 and vaccine uptake among patients with chronic illnesses at a tertiary health facility in Nigeria
Abstract
Dear Editor,
This is a response to published research on " The risk perception of COVID-19 and vaccine uptake among patients with chronic illnesses at a tertiary health facility in Nigeria.1" Studies on the risk perception of COVID-19 vaccination among chronically ill patients in tertiary care centres provide useful information. However, several methodological issues have emerged, limiting its effectiveness, particularly in the Nigerian context. This is especially true for how risk perception affects vaccination uptake. Can the authors explain how they expect to demonstrate causation in future studies? Longitudinal designs may be more suited to tracking changes in attitudes and behaviours over time, particularly if new information on COVID-19 and its vaccines becomes available.
