Background: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has imposed substantial health and economic burdens on the societies. COVID-19 vaccination is the most effective method of controlling the epidemic. This study assessed the attitude, willingness, and related factors of adult patients with rheumatic diseases (RDs) in China towards COVID-19 vaccination and identified their reasons for being vaccinated. Methods:  A cross-sectional survey was administered to patients with rheumatic diseases from July 18 to August 18, 2021, using an online questionnaire. Logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the data. Results: We analyzed data drawn from 464 participants who provided valid responses. A total of 324 (69.83%) RD patients were not willing to be vaccinated, of which 76.97% believed that COVID-19 vaccination might exacerbate the diseases symptoms. Logistic regression analysis showed that a combination of experiencing systemic damage, being in the acute attack stage of the disease, and fear of the adverse impact of vaccination on rheumatism, etc., were the predominant factors affecting the intentional vaccination rate in adult patients with rheumatic diseases (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The COVID-19 intentional vaccination rate was relatively low in adult Chinese patients with RD. Public health education and the dissemination of government scientific data for patients with RD should be enhanced to increase COVID-19 vaccination rates.
