The findings of the study have indicated that 68.4% of adults 40 years and above with CHD have been vaccinated against COVID-19 and have received more than two doses of vaccines. More than half have followed recommendations and have received booster doses of the vaccine. Old age (above 40 years) and a higher socioeconomic class are associated with being more likely to follow COVID-19 vaccination guidelines. Despite the higher vaccination rate of 68.4% in the adults with heart diseases group, strategies for improving booster vaccine awareness alongside accessibility are needed to enhance additional dosage uptake, protect them against novel COVID-19 variants, and ensure the development of sustained immunity.
