Background : The aim of this study was to estimate the awareness which clinical students have on vaccination since they have higher chances of exposure.The COVID-19 vaccine may play a role in establishing herd immunity, and there is an importance in addressing vaccine hesitancy through well-developed and empirically-based education campaigns. Methods and methods : We conducted a cross-sectional study among 100 clinical students in different colleges in Chennai. They were asked basic questionnaires regarding COVID-19 pandemic and their knowledge and willingness for vaccination. The data were collected in excel and analysed using SPSS. Results : In this study, clinical students have participated and completed the questionnaire. In that 59% were male and 41% were female. 13% males had taken vaccines in the last 14 days in comparison to 39% females who had taken vaccines in the last 14 days. 18% males and 34% females had experienced Covid before. 38% males and 69% females were willing to take booster vaccines. 61% males and 65% females are feeling nervous about vaccines. 44% males and 47% females will encourage others to take up vaccines. 28% males and 52% females were working during Covid. Conclusion : Prevalence of vaccination and COVID-19 disease was higher among females in our population. Further, a higher percentage of female students (69%) were willing for vaccinations compared to males (38%). So the clinical students should take every step to be safe and should make the patients feel safe.
