Knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of incarcerated people regarding COVID-19 and related vaccination: a survey in Italy

Gabriella Di Giuseppe et al.

Summary: This cross-sectional study assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and preventive practices of incarcerated people towards COVID-19. The findings showed that the majority of respondents were aware of the transmission of COVID-19 through respiratory droplets and the increased risk for severe disease in patients with chronic conditions. Most participants believed that COVID-19 is more severe than influenza and could have serious consequences in their institution. However, only a small percentage felt confident in their ability to protect themselves from SARS-CoV-2 infection. A significant number of incarcerated individuals expressed willingness to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, particularly those who were older, aware of the availability of the vaccine, believed in the severity of COVID-19 compared to influenza, and had confidence in their ability to protect themselves from infection. The study highlights the importance of addressing vaccine hesitancy in prisons to increase vaccine confidence among incarcerated populations.
