Data was collected using a self-designed questionnaire through Google Forms. Factors affecting vaccination intent were identified using multinomial logistic models. Data was analysed using SPSS 22.\nResults: Of the 1069 subjects, 629(58.8%) were females and 440(41.2%) were males. The overall mean age of the sample was 21.34+\/-2.99. Overall, 712(66.6%) students were enrolled in health-related fields, and 357(33.4%) were pursuing non-medical degrees. Besides, 578(54.1%) students intended to have the vaccine. While 458(64.3%) of the subjects studying health-related subjects intended to have the vaccine, only 120(33.8%) in other academic streams said they would get vaccinated. Students who had had the disease or had been in contact with someone who had it 102(33%) were more likely to believe that the vaccine was safe. Smoking, having a flu vaccine in the past, and having a coronavirus disease-2019 test were the factors influencing the intent to have the vaccination (p&lt;0.05).\nConclusion: Having had a flu vaccine in the past, social media use, history of, or exposure to, coronavirus disease-2019 and enrolment in health-related programme of studies were the factors influencing the vaccination intent of the students.\nKey Words: COVID-19, COVID-19 vaccine, Vaccine intent, University student, Public health.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.47391\/jpma.6060","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,20]],"date-time":"2023-04-20T17:49:02Z","timestamp":1682012942000},"page":"785-791","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Covid-19 vaccination intent in university students and influencing factors: an analytical cross-sectional study"],"prefix":"10.47391","volume":"73","author":[{"family":"Media Subasi Baybuga","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"family":"Hatice Ozkoc","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"family":"Senay Akgun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"26547","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,15]]},"container-title":["Journal of the Pakistan Medical Association"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/ojs.jpma.org.pk\/index.php\/public_html\/article\/download\/6060\/2235","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,23]],"date-time":"2023-04-23T16:21:37Z","timestamp":1682266897000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/ojs.jpma.org.pk\/index.php\/public_html\/article\/view\/6060"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,15]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,20]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.47391\/jpma.6060","relation":{},"ISSN":["0030-9982"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0030-9982","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,15]]}}}
