Abstract :
After the outbreak of the Corona pandemic
and its conquest of the world, it became necessary to find
a vaccine against the Corona virus in order to break the
cycle of its spread, but the acceptance or rejection of the
vaccination by the citizens may be affected by the mental
and representational maps that have stuck to the epidemic
through the emergence of several trends.
Some researchers have observed that the large
population has a relatively high reluctance to current
vaccinations and that vaccination coverage is not
adequate (van Doremalen et al 2020; Harapan et al. 2019).
In Morocco, the elderly have, it seems, readily
accepted to participate in the vaccination campaign
launched by the government. But what is the attitude of
young people towards vaccination against COVID 19?
This study aims to understand the perceptions
towards the COVID-19 vaccination and the targeted
subject is the high school students (17-18 years old).
The research used five-point Likert scale
instruments to examine student’s perceptions of the
COVID-19 vaccination. The sample for this analysis is
N=263 participants.
Through the analysis that targeted the students’
answers about the advantages of vaccination, it was found
that vaccination against the Corona virus has several
advantages for students of the second year of the
baccalaureate, as both scientific and literary students
acknowledge that it combats the disease, but the
percentage of importance varies from scientific to
literary.
Statistics from both categories of students indicated
that literary people consider the vaccine against the
Corona virus to be ineffective, while scientists do not. The
results also showed that there are more risks of unwanted
negative side effects than benefits.
Statistics have also shown that among the obstacles
that would prevent students from getting vaccinated
against the virus, in addition to fear of the vaccine, doubt
about its safety.
Both science and literary students indicated that the
school, the free vaccination, the media, the Internet, and
the family are some important factors that may affect
students' receipt of the vaccination.
The comparison between the two groups of students
showed that there are no significant differences between
the students regarding the COVID-19 vaccination
process, and from this we can assume that the information
obtained by the science students did not affect their
perceptions.
