AVILA, Jeannette; BELLO-VIDAL, Catalina y LA ROSA, José Luis. COVID-19 vaccine acceptance or hesitancy among entrants to a Peruvian public university during the third pandemic wave. An. Fac. med. [online]. 2023, vol.84, n.4, pp.430-434. Epub 30-Dic-2023. ISSN 1025-5583. http://dx.doi.org/10.15381/anales.v84i4.25067.
Introduction.
University students influence their family and community decisions in favor of vaccination.
Objective.
To identify the main reasons for COVID-19 vaccine acceptance or hesitancy among university entrants.
Methods.
A cross-sectional study in a sample of 408 students. We asked whether the student had completed the three doses the COVID-19 vaccine and the main reason for vaccine acceptance or hesitancy. A descriptive analysis was performed, the chi-square test and Fisher’s exact were applied.
Results.
85.5% accepted vaccination mainly because they did not want to infect family members (38.1%) and did not want to get sick (27.8%). 14.5% were hesitancy especially due to long waiting times in vaccination centers (37.3%) and distance from vaccination centers (13.6%).
Conclusions.
In the university students studied, the fear of disease drove COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and inaccessibility to health services generated vaccine hesitancy among university entrants.
