Ecuadorian University Students’ Perception and Attitude Regarding Vaccination against COVID-19 by Lexter Mihalache, Jhonatan Miguel Siguencia Muñoz, Álvaro Paúl Moina Veloz

“…<br /><strong>Results:</strong> before the intervention it was found that 43.3 % of the students were against vaccination, where the main causes were skepticism due to infodemic and biased information (33.7 %), and fear about safety of the vaccine due to the short duration of clinical trials (22.1 %). After the intervention, it was found that 84 % of the students supported vaccination, results that showed a statistically significant variation. …”
