We assessed the uptake of COVID-19 vaccination in a community-recruited sample of people who inject drugs (PWID) in San Francisco in 2022. Overall, 72. 4% (95% CI 64. 6-80. 3) were vaccinated for COVID-19. Independent predictors of vaccination were age 65 years and older (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 9. 7, 95% CI 2. 2-28. 7) and ever testing positive for COVID-19 (AOR 2. 0, 95% CI 1. 2-3. 5). Homelessness was associated with lower COVID-19 vaccination (AOR 0. 5, 95% CI 0. 3-0. 8). Our study underscores the urgent need for targeted interventions to address unique challenges faced by PWID in accessing COVID-19 vaccination, particularly for those experiencing homelessness and who are younger.
