牙科学生（DS）和医学生（MS）暴露于COVID-19。在这两个群体中实现高COVID-19疫苗接种覆盖率非常重要。作者开展了一项调查，以评估MS和DS之间的COVID-19疫苗犹豫。作者在3所美国牙科学校和1所美国医学院进行了这项研究，使用在线调查评估了先前的免疫行为，对COVID-19疫苗的态度和看法以及COVID-19的个人经历。共有248名DS和167名MS完成了调查。45%的DS和23%的MS对接种COVID-19疫苗犹豫不决。双变量分析结果发现，MS比DS接受疫苗的可能性高2.7倍（比值比，2.74; 95%CI，1.76至4.31; P = .0001）。虽然DS比MS（P < .05）更有可能患有COVID-19，并且亲自认识患有COVID-19的人，但MS更有可能同意有关疫苗的授权和信任信息。在多变量分析中，在控制了人口统计学变量、COVID-19经历和个人疫苗接种行为后，MS或DS不再能预测接种疫苗的意愿。这些结果强调了专业特定的课程，旨在提高学生对疫苗和疫苗咨询技能的知识的必要性。美国牙科协会支持牙医接种疫苗，包括COVID-19疫苗。牙医和DS应该愿意自己接种疫苗。需要开展疫苗教育，以提高疫苗接种率。
Dental students (DS) and medical students (MS) are exposed to COVID-19. It is important to achieve high COVID-19 vaccination coverage rates in both of these groups. The authors developed a survey to assess COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among MS and DS. The authors conducted the study at 3 US dental schools and 1 US medical school using an online survey that assessed previous immunization behavior, attitudes about and perceptions of COVID-19 vaccines, and personal experience with COVID-19. A total of 248 DS and 167 MS completed the survey. Forty-five percent of DS and 23% of MS were hesitant about receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. Results of bivariate analyses found that MS were 2.7 times more likely than DS to receive the vaccine (odds ratio, 2.74; 95% CI, 1.76 to 4.31; P = .0001). Although DS were more likely than MS (P < .05) to have had COVID-19 and to personally know someone who had COVID-19, MS were more likely to agree with mandates and trust information about the vaccines. In multivariable analyses, after controlling for demographic variables, experience with COVID-19, and personal vaccination behaviors, being a MS or DS was no longer predictive of willingness to get the vaccine. These results highlight the need for profession-specific curricula designed to enhance student knowledge about the vaccines and vaccine counseling skills. The American Dental Association supports dentists administering vaccines, including the COVID-19 vaccines. Dentists and DS should be willing to receive the vaccines themselves. Education about the vaccines is needed to improve uptake.
