Abstract

Results: Out of the students whose average age was 21 years, 51.8% were female, and the majority had middle family income. Prevalance of
COVID-19 diagnosis in students was 14.3% and 14.3% reported to be undecided or not planning to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Around 80% believed
in the vaccine’s safety and protection, and 85% supported their relatives getting vaccinated. While 39.3% supported Sinovac, 54.2% reported the
need for different options and 72.9% found information provided about the vaccine inadequate. The average positive and negative attitude scores
were 4.00 and 3.82, respectively, reflecting generally positive attitudes which did not differ across socioeconomic characteristics. Those considering
to get a COVID-19 vaccine or thinking positively of the vaccine and production companies had higher attitude scores.

Conclusion: Although Term-3 students had positive attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccines, 14.3% were hesitant about getting vaccinated. It is
recommended to provide adequate information and increase options for the vaccine.
