Abstract

The vaccine is one of the most efficient ways to protect against COVID-19. Attitudes, knowledge,
and willingness to receive the COVID-19 vaccine may have a significant impact on the nursing
student's vaccine acceptance now and in the future. The aim was to investigate undergraduate
nursing students' knowledge, attitude, and willingness regarding covid-19 vaccination. Subjects
and method: Design: A cross-sectional descriptive research design was utilized to achieve the aim
of this study. Setting: the research was conducted at the Faculty of Nursing, Fayoum University.
Subjects: A convenient sample of 2438 undergraduate nursing students from all fourth academic
years was included using an online self-administered questionnaire via Google Form. One tool was
used: Tool (I) Attitude, Knowledge, and vaccination Willingness for the COVID-19 vaccine
(AKW). Results: The scoring rate of attitude, knowledge and vaccination willingness were 70.07%,
80.70%, and 84.38% respectively. The majority of (85%) of them like to receive the COVID-19
vaccine. Conclusion: COVID-19 vaccinations were found to have a high percentage of
acceptability among undergraduate nursing students. Concerns regarding vaccination safety and
efficacy, on the other hand, may restrict vaccine uptake. The major reasons for vaccination
hesitancy are fear of negative effects and a general refusal of vaccines. Recommendations:
Establishing intervention strategies for vaccination initiatives against the COVID-19 pandemic
which will need addressing these concerns and increasing public confidence in vaccines.
