5. CONCLUSION
One-third of nursing students do not intend to be vaccinated. Concerns and barriers related to the vaccine included lack of information, safety, efficacy, and side effects, as well as false beliefs that the vaccine will transmit viruses and they are used as experiments. HCPs can encourage individuals to receive vaccines. Nursing students are known to be the future HCPs and will play a decisive role in counseling individuals in the community about the risks of COVID-19 and the benefits of the vaccine; therefore, focusing on training that is aimed at increasing the knowledge of vaccines, eliminating their negative attitudes and concerns, and building confidence in vaccines is necessary. Nursing students should be encouraged to read scientific research to eliminate misinformation through social media. Using and following reliable news sources can build trust in vaccines.
