- Abstract
Introduction and aim: During the COVID-19 epidemic, traditional schooling was halted in Türkiye as it was in the rest of the world, and online education began. Medical students continued their clinical training which increased the possibility of interacting with possible COVID-19 patients. The purpose of this study was to assess the COVID-19 infection and vaccination status of medical school students. Methods: Data from 662 participants in this cross-sectional study were gathered between February and March 2022 via an online survey. The ChiSquare test was used to evaluate categorical variables related to having COVID-19 and having had a vaccination. A logistic regression model with the variables gender, grade, body mass index, living circumstances, being in the hospital during the internship, having chronic disease, smoking, receiving seasonal flu shots and having COVID-19 was used to assess the vaccination status. The statistical significance level was p<0.05. Results and conclusion: The percentage of female participants was 53.6% (n=355). Participants had an average age of 21.7; 31.9% (n=211) had COVID-19, and 73.5% (n=487) had received at least 3 doses of the vaccine. Women are more likely than men to be fully vaccinated (receive 3 or more doses) against COVID-19. Senior students are 19.8 times more likely to be fully vaccinated than first-year students, and those who have their own room are 2.1 times more likely to be fully vaccinated. The likelihood of becoming fully vaccinated is 1.5 times higher in those who did not have COVID-19. Even if the high incidence of COVID-19 vaccination among students is impressive, conducting in-depth interviews with medical school students can help us better understand the causes of vaccine hesitancy as well as their opinions on this issue.
