Background: Immunization is an important component of maintaining health and wellness in patients with chronic kidney disease. The aim of the study is to describe the awareness about the vaccination in patients with chronic kidney disease on haemodialysis and to estimate the vaccination status received in these patients on dialysis. Methods: It is a cross sectional study conducted in 83 patients diagnosed to have chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis for at least 1 month. Demographic characteristics and comorbidity data (as self-reported) were collected and questionnaire assessment was filled about the vaccination and counselling received. Results: The prevalence of CKD were 73.5% in males and 26.5% in females with a mean age of 48.9 years. Among the different occupations of the patient with no job/housewife was 56.6% while professional jobs were 18.1% business and non-professional source were 13.3% and agriculture related was 12.0%. Evaluation of education stated that patients educated with higher schooling had 15.6% of prevalence of CKD compared to degree holders and Masters. The different comorbidities among the studied patients were Hypertension- 84.3%, Diabetes- 47%, Stroke- 12%, Connective tissue disorder- 18.1% and COPD- 44.6%.
