DIAZ GIMENEZ, María Griselda et al. Vaccination status of medical students at the National University of Asunción in Santa Rosa del Aguaray, 2023. An. Fac. Cienc. Méd. (Asunción) [online]. 2025, vol.58, n.2, pp.61-67. ISSN 1816-8949. https://doi.org/10.18004/anales/2025.058.02.61.
Introduction:
Vaccines play a fundamental role in the prevention and control of diseases; medical students must have some of them mandatory to carry out their practices both in laboratories and in hospitals.
Objective:
To evaluate the vaccination status of medical students at the National University of Asunción - Santa Rosa del Aguaray Branch in 2023.
Materials and Methods:
The research was carried out through an observational and descriptive study in which 169 students participated. Information was collected on recommended vaccines, including those for COVID-19, Hepatitis B, Tetanus, Measles, Rubella, Influenza, and HPV.
Results:
The results showed high vaccine coverage in relation to COVID-19 (98.8%), but low coverage in relation to the HPV vaccine (45%). In addition, it was observed that only a small percentage of the students had the complete vaccination schedule for Hepatitis B and Tetanus.
Conclusion:
The study highlights the importance of reinforcing vaccination programs among medical students to reduce the risks of exposure to vaccine-preventable diseases in clinical settings.
