چکیده    Background: despite the free-of-charge offer of influenza vaccines to at-risk subgroups, vaccinecoverage remains low and far from the target, probably due to the false myths and misperceptions. we aimed to explore the healthcare students’ vaccination behavior and beliefs to find any association between vaccination uptake during the last 5 years and future vaccination acceptance.study design: a multicentre cross-sectional study.methods: from oct 2017 to nov 2018, the italian healthcare students from 14 different universities in 2017/2018 were enrolled, through an online and anonymous questionnaire previously validated.absolute and relative frequencies were calculated and pearson's chi-square test was used. amultinomial logistic regression model was performed. results are expressed as relative risk ratio (rr) with 95% confidence intervals (95% ci). the level of significance chosen was p-value <0.05.results: a total of 3137 students were enrolled and 3131 questionnaires were analysed. 82.7% of the sample declared they had not received any flu vaccination during the last 5 years. students who received flu vaccination 4 times or more during the last 5 years were more likely to do it again next year as well (95.1% vs 4.9%). the regression model showed that having received flu vaccination over the last 5 years was statistically associated with the intention of getting vaccinated during next season.conclusions: frequency of flu vaccination is predictive for future acceptance among healthcarestudents. this association could have both implications for the organization of vaccination campaigns and improve educational strategies for this category of students.
