perception components and background characteristics in determining the vaccine acceptance. The
perception components include severity, susceptibility to COVID-19 and the benefits, barriers and self-
efficacy to the COVID-19 vaccination. Socio-economic, demographic and existing morbidity factors are
also considered as background characteristics. It uses survey questionnaire in electronic format and
collected the information through online survey that done between July 22-September 22, 2021 from
the students who enrolled with various universities in Tamil Nadu.The study employed Chi-squared test,
Component factor analysis and Binary logistic regression for the statistical analysis.

The descriptive analysis shows that 90% of students expressed their willingness to COVID-19 vaccination
acceptance. The Chi-Squared analysis shows that the COVID-19 vaccine acceptance has an association
with the current course and year of education of the students, their geography of living, employment,
household income and the status of at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccination. Factor analysis shows
that the students’ perceptions such as benefit and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccine is prominent factor
followed by barriers to access the vaccine factor in determining vaccine acceptance. The binary logistic
regression analysis shows that, the students who are in the initial year of their course and who have
at least one COVID-19 vaccination have high probability to take the vaccine than others. Similarly, the
students’ perception about the benefit and efficacy of vaccine has a positive impact upon the probability
of vaccine acceptance. But the probability to accept the COVID-19 vaccination is negatively dependent
upon the students’ perception about the accessibility barriers. The study suggests the relevance of
awareness about the COVID-19 vaccine benefits and also the need to ensure the students to access it.
