Abstract. Using a specially designed questionnaire, an anonymous survey of senior students of the Chuvash State University was conducted, a total of 63 people aged 20 to 25 years, of which 29.3% were men and 70.7% were women. An analysis of the responses showed that most students are aware of the need for vaccination in order to prevent a number of infectious diseases. Only every second respondent was consciously vaccinated against COVID-19, which may indicate an insufficient level of awareness about the appropriateness, effectiveness and safety of vaccination against a new coronavirus infection.

Keywords: students, attitude, vaccination
