COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among medical students

Victoria C. Lucia et al.

Summary: Medical students generally have positive attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccines, but some are hesitant to participate in vaccine trials or get vaccinated immediately. Students willing to get vaccinated right away are more likely to trust public health experts and have fewer concerns about side effects, while concerns about serious side effects are associated with lower intent to participate in vaccine trials.

COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and hesitancy among dental and medical students

Arati K. Kelekar et al.

Summary: The study found that some medical students and dental students were hesitant about the COVID-19 vaccine, but willingness to be vaccinated did not depend on whether they were medical or dental students in multivariable analysis. The results highlight the need for profession-specific curricula to enhance student knowledge about vaccines and vaccine counseling skills.

Acceptance and attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccines: A cross-sectional study from Jordan

Tamam El-Elimat et al.

Summary: The public acceptability of COVID-19 vaccines is relatively low in Jordan, with certain demographics like males, those who have taken the seasonal influenza vaccine, those who believe vaccines are generally safe, and those willing to pay for the vaccines being more likely to accept them. Conversely, those over 35, employed individuals, those who believe in COVID-19 conspiracies, and those who do not trust any information source on COVID-19 vaccines are less likely to accept them. Health authorities in Jordan should implement systematic interventions to address vaccine hesitancy and improve acceptance rates.
