Profile of patients wishing to be vaccinated against Covid-19 in primary care practice

In the context of a coronavirus pandemic, immunization of the population is a priority task for the reduction of the virus. The participation of general practitioners in the immunization campaign is crucial to ensure rapid access to vaccination for any interested citizen. A study was made of the health and demographic profile of the patients who expressed a desire to be vaccinated in primary care practice in the city of Varna, in the fourth phase of the National Vaccination Plan for Covid-19 - immunization of vulnerable groups of patients in order to determine whether they meet the criteria for vaccination and how to optimize it in conditions of vaccine shortage. The results show that the majority of those wishing to be vaccinated are around 65 years old and have chronic diseases - cardiovascular, oncological, respiratory diseases. The formation of groups among those wishing to be vaccinated according to the risk of serious illness (low risk and high risk) is proposed, as well as according to the willingness of patients for vaccination (without contraindications, with contraindications, requiring additional consultations).
