Abstract

Background: The development of a vaccine against COVID-19 infection is on the way.
However, opinions on the implementation of the vaccine and the needs to receive the
COVID-19 vaccine vary considerably among people, which might influence the future
demand forecast and pricing considerations for COVID-19 vaccine. Objectives: This
study aims at 1) describing the demand and ability to pay, and 2) analysing factors
associated with participants; intention to utilize the COVID-19 vaccine of medical
students. Subjects and methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study among Hanoi
Medical University students. Logistic regression was used to describe the correlation
between COVID-19 vaccination needs and related factors. Linear regression was
used to describe the correlation between the ability to pay for the COVID-19 vaccine
and some associated factors. Results: Nearly 80% of the participants reported that
they were willing to get vaccinated against COVID-19 if a vaccine were available.
Factors associated with students’ needs to accept the COVID-19 vaccine included
worry about COVID-19 and the year of study of participants. The average price that
people accept to pay for a vaccine against COVID-19 is 485.25 ± 418.64 thousand
VND. Conclusion: In this study, many students aaalikely get vaccinated, and the
need to uptake COVID-19 vaccine was considered to be associated with worry of
COVID-19 and year of study.
