Students’ intentions on the COVID-19 vaccination participation and reasons: A data report in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam

A number of vaccination campaigns have been launched in many countries including Vietnam for the purpose of community immunization. However, citizens’ participation is a prerequisite for vaccination programs and related policies to meet with success regardless of whether plans are thoroughly prepared or not. Accordingly, this research is conducted to (1) provide insights into students’ perceptions of COVID-19 in general (2) compare and contrast students’ perceptions in terms of gender and (2) analyze students’ choices and reasons for vaccination against COVID-19. This dataset is expected to facilitate effectiveness and efficiency of immunization campaigns and assist policymakers or authorities in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
