The study presents more than one hundred tables of data about who is vaccinated or not, who has a booster shot, who supports a vaccine mandate on campus and what students think of their college vaccination efforts. This study is based on data from a representative sample of more than 1050 full time college students at four year colleges in the United States.
Just a few of this report’s many findings are that:
-
Nearly 96% of students raised abroad had been vaccinated.
-
Students in education/library science were the least likely to have been vaccinated – only 79.31% of them had been. Engineering, mathematics and computer science students were the most likely to have been vaccinated – 94.16% were.
-
26.74% of college students who consider themselves political conservatives supported a COVID vaccine mandate for their institutions.
-
25.53% of students living in sorority or fraternity supplied housing had received a COVID booster shot.
-
Students at R2 level research universities were less satisfied than others with their campus vaccination policies.
Data in the report is broken out by more than 20 personal and institutional variables, so, for example, readers can get specific data on COVID vaccination rates for first year students vs. juniors or seniors, or for students in level 1 research universities vs. doctoral institutions, or for male vs. female or vs. transgender students, or for business/economics majors vs fine arts majors, etc., etc.
Breakouts include age, year of school standing, major or intended major, religion, gender, sexual orientation, income level, SAT/ACT scores, college grades, regional origins, race/ethnicity, level of school tuition, size of school of institution attended and many other variables. This is a critical resource for policy makers in government and in universities and colleges as well as a unique data source for social scientists and other studying higher education and public health.
