AB  - This study determines factors related to the intention to vaccinate against 
      COVID-19 for health science students in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), using both the 
      Health Belief Model (HBM) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) model. A 
      cross-sectional survey was considered in April 2021, using a self-administered 
      questionnaire to all health sciences students of the University of Medicine and 
      Pharmacy in Ho Chi Minh City (UMP), Vietnam. The multiple regression was 
      performed to specify the predictable factors of willingness to get a future 
      COVID-19 vaccination.A total of 854 students completed the survey, whose 
      vaccination acceptance was 77.1%. Predictors of intention to receive a COVID-19 
      vaccination included year of education, knowledge, and the HBM and TPB variables 
      including the perceived benefits, cues to action, perceived behavioral control, 
      and positive attitudes toward the vaccine (all p < .05). The main reasons for 
      hesitancy included being afraid of the side effects (73.0%), vaccine safety 
      (65.3%), and the process of new vaccine development (53.6%). The study examined 
      students' intention toward COVID-19 vaccine and related factors to notify 
      university administrators and policymakers. The findings showed the acceptability 
      of vaccines had differences within the education year of students, besides, 
      knowledge, perception of benefits, cues to action, behavioral control, and 
      attitudes toward the vaccine were positive predictive factors. These may be 
      useful for developing health education messages to promoting vaccination 
      acceptability for students who had hesitancy of a new vaccine and in broader 
      groups.
