Being at least 18\u2009years old until 28, regardless of gender, being a student in one of the six programs at FTMS, and agreeing to participate in this investigation and to respond to our questionnaire were the inclusion criteria for this study. The outcome measures were the percentage of people agreeing to be vaccinated, opinions, attitudes, and factors and reasons linked with vaccination reluctance toward COVID\u201019.

About 66.1% of students identified the benefits and efficacy of controlling the disease, while 33.9% were not up to date on their vaccinations and thought that vaccinations could cause problems in the future. Students who did not want to be vaccinated were 27.7%. The results of this detailed study show skepticism concerning the COVID\u201019\u2010 vaccine among students of the university, even though the rate of vaccination resulted in 60.74%.
