FEATURES OF PERCEPTION OF INFORMATION ON THE NEED TO VACCINATE AGAINST COVID-19 BY STUDENTS TRAINING ON A PAID BASIS
The paper presents the results of study how full-time students on a paid basis perceived information on necessity of vaccination against COVID-19. The authors have revealed that in the effectiveness of the vaccination campaign, psychological features of the population's attitude to the administrative measures taken by the state, regional authorities and specific leaders, including the leaders of educational organizations, came to the fore. The presence of restrictions determined in people various reactions: from acceptance and support to non-acceptance, opposition and indignation as a result of the resistance phenomenon. The study was aimed at identifying the attitude of young people (full-time students on a paid basis at the age of 18-21) to the coercive nature of compulsory vaccination in late July - early August 2021 (i.e., at the time of receiving information about possible restrictions and the need for vaccination by the beginning of the school year to attend full-time training sessions). As a result, the study hypothesis was tested, which was based on the assumption of an association between the attitude of young people (18-21 years old) to the coercive nature of compulsory vaccination and the presence (absence) of antibodies in them. In general, the results of the study, implemented under the conditions of administrative measures, showed that if, from January 2021, awareness-raising work had been carried out with students about the pros and cons of Gam-KOVID-Va”, anti-inoculative stereotypes would have been refuted and vaccination measures were more effective and systematic.
