ACCEPTANCE & RETINENCE TO COVID-19 VACCINE AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS IN INDIA
Abstract
Identifying COVID-19 from other communities will help us in the development of future health
messages. In a survey of 736 students at ITM University & ITM Group of Institutions, we
discovered that 60.4% of students accepted the covid-19 vaccination, while only 13% of those
polled said they didn't believe in vaccines, with a further 26% saying they were unsure. No-
vaccinated students at ITM University differed on a range of social and medical aspects, health
and belief frameworks, but across the spectrum students stated that they required more
information about the dangers of not getting vaccinated.
