Background
The study was conducted to determine the attitudes of university students who received online education during the pandemic towards Covid-19 vaccines.

Material and methods
This descriptive and correlational type study was conducted between April and June 2021. There were approximately 2,500 students studying at a private university in Istanbul during the 2020-2021 academic year, and the sample size was 222. The data collection tools used included the student information form and the Perception and Attitude Scale Related with Covid-19 pandemic. The data were analyzed using number, percentage, mean and Student’s t-test, Mann Whitney U-test and one way ANOVA.

Results
The mean positive attitude score towards Covid-19 vaccines was 3.37, and the negative attitude score towards Covid-19 vaccines was 3.24. It was concluded that students’ attitudes towards the vaccine were undecided.

Conclusions
Factors such as age, gender, residential area, family type, presence of chronic disease or being diagnosed with Covid-19 do not make a significant difference in the attitude of students towards Covid-19 vaccines. Marital status was the only significant factor that made a difference in attitude towards Covid-19 vaccines.
