医学及健康科学专业的学生是前线医护人员之一，他们在临床实习及未来的职业生涯中感染COVID-19的风险很高。作为医疗保健提供者，他们被期望推广和管理COVID-19疫苗，并为疫苗犹豫患者提供咨询。因此，必须评估医学和健康科学学生对COVID-19疫苗的犹豫。因此，本研究旨在评估Wolkite大学医学和健康科学学生对COVID-19疫苗的犹豫及其相关因素。一项基于机构的横断面研究设计在2021年3月1日至30日参加Wolkite大学的420名医学和健康科学学生中进行。采用简单随机抽样技术选择研究参与者。自我管理和结构化的问卷调查被用来收集数据。将数据输入Epi-Data 4.2.0版，并导出至SPSS 23版软件包进行进一步分析。双变量和多变量分析用于确定相关因素。P值<0.05的结果被认为是统计学上显著的关联。COVID-19疫苗犹豫水平为41.2%（95%CI; 35.2%-50.4%）。年龄≤23岁的学生对疫苗犹豫不决的可能性是其他人的1.9倍[aOR = 1.94，95%CI; 1.14-3.28]，女性对疫苗犹豫不决的可能性是其他人的1.7倍[aOR = 1.76，95%CI; 1.14-2.72]，居住在农村地区的可能性是其他人的1.6倍[aOR = 1.63，95%CI; 1.06-2.49]，来自社交媒体的信息来源的疫苗犹豫的可能性是其对应者的2.7倍[aOR = 2.68，95%CI; 1.58-4.54]，与COVID-19缓解措施的良好实践相比，疫苗犹豫的可能性降低了47%[aOR = 0.53，95%CI; 0.34-0.83]。COVID-19疫苗的犹豫率很高。因此，建议学生从政府主导的大众媒体（即电视和电台）获取COVID-19疫苗信息，提高认识，并坚持采取COVID-19缓解措施。
Medical and health science students are among the frontline health care workers who are at high risk of acquiring COVID-19 infection during their clinical attachments and future career. As health care providers, they are expected to promote and administer the COVID-19 vaccine and counsel vaccine-hesitant patients. It is, therefore, imperative to assess COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among medical and health science students. Thus, this study aimed to assess COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and its associated factors among medical and health science students of Wolkite University. An institutional-based cross-sectional study design was conducted among 420 medical and health science students attending Wolkite University from March 1 to 30, 2021. Simple random sampling technique was used to select study participants. Self-administered and structured questionnaires were used to collect data. Data were entered into Epi-Data version 4.2.0 and exported to SPSS version 23 software package for further analysis. Bivariable and multivariable analysis was used to identify associated factors. P values <0.05 result were considered as a statistically significant association. The level of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy was 41.2% (95% CI; 35.2%-50.4%). Student age ≤23 years were 1.9 times more likely vaccine hesitant [aOR = 1.94, 95% CI; 1.14–3.28], being female were 1.7 times more likely vaccine hesitant [aOR = 1.76, 95% CI; 1.14–2.72], resided in rural area were 1.6 times more likely vaccine hesitant [aOR = 1.63, 95% CI; 1.06–2.49], source of information from social media were 2.7 times more likely vaccine hesitant [aOR = 2.68, 95% CI; 1.58–4.54], and good practice to COVID-19 mitigation measures were 47% less likely vaccine hesitant [aOR = 0.53, 95% CI; 0.34–0.83] compared to their counterpart. COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy is found to be high. Therefore, students are advised to receive COVID-19 vaccine information from government lead mass media (i.e. television and radio), increase awareness and adherence to COVID-19 mitigation measures is recommended.
