: Now that the spread of COVID-19 has been controlled, it is important to investigate changes in young people's perceptions of the vaccine and their behavior toward infection. The objectives of this study were as follows: (1) to investigate the association between Omicron strain vaccination rates among college students, their perceptions of the vaccine, and past adverse reactions to the vaccine; (2) to compare 2021 (when COVID-19 was spreading) and 2023 (when COVID-19 was strained) to identify changes in attitudes toward vaccination and motivations for vaccination and changes in infection prevention behavior. : This cross-sectional survey was conducted via e-mail from 5 January to 30 January 2023. All students at Hiroshima University were sent an e-mail, which provided them access to the survey form and requested their cooperation. The questionnaire consisted of 33 items related to attributes, vaccination status, adverse reactions after vaccination, motivation for vaccination, perception of the vaccine, presence of coronavirus infection, sequelae, and infection prevention measures. : A total of 1083 students responded to the survey. Over 50% of the students were vaccinated with the Omicron booster. Regarding trust in vaccines, the majority of both male and female respondents said they had some trust in vaccines, although this was less than that observed in the 2021 survey. As for infection control measures, only 2% of males and 0.3% of females answered that they did not take any infection control measures. The most common response was "wear a mask", as in the 2021 survey, with 476 men (96.6%) and 575 women (99.5%). : The survey showed a high Omicron-responsive vaccination rate of more than 50%. In addition, more than 99% of the students were found to be taking measures to prevent infection, such as wearing masks.
鉴于新冠病毒的传播已得到控制，调查年轻人对疫苗的认知变化及其感染防护行为就显得很重要。本研究的目的如下：（1）调查大学生中奥密克戎毒株疫苗接种率、他们对疫苗的认知以及过去对疫苗的不良反应之间的关联；（2）比较2021年（新冠病毒传播期间）和2023年（新冠病毒形势紧张时），以确定疫苗接种态度和接种动机的变化以及感染预防行为的变化。 这项横断面调查于2023年1月5日至1月30日通过电子邮件进行。广岛大学向所有学生发送了一封电子邮件，为他们提供了调查问卷的链接并请求他们的合作。问卷包括33个项目，涉及属性、疫苗接种状况、接种后的不良反应、接种动机、对疫苗的认知、是否感染新冠病毒、后遗症以及感染预防措施。 共有1083名学生回复了调查。超过50%的学生接种了奥密克戎加强针。关于对疫苗的信任，大多数男性和女性受访者表示他们对疫苗有一定信任，尽管这一比例低于2021年的调查结果。至于感染控制措施，只有2%的男性和0.3%的女性回答他们没有采取任何感染控制措施。最常见的回答是“戴口罩”，与2021年的调查一样，476名男性（96.6%）和575名女性（99.5%）选择此项。 调查显示奥密克戎疫苗接种率超过50%，处于较高水平。此外，发现超过99%的学生采取了如戴口罩等预防感染的措施。
