dc.description.abstract The study assessed the knowledge, attitude and acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines among students of Holy Family NMTC, Berekum. Cross sectional design was adopted for the study. The sample population was obtained using convenience sampling technique. A total of 50 students were sampled for the study. The data for the study was collected by administering structured questionnaire to the participants. Data was analyzed using Microsoft excel software and presented in the form of tables or figures. The study found that all (100) the respondents agreed that they know about COVID-19 vaccines. Half (50%) of the respondents disagreed that everyone including children can receive COVID-19 vaccination. Majority (84%) of the respondents knew about Oxford-Astra Zeneca vaccine. Less than half of the respondents knew about Johnson and Johnson's Janssen (20%), Moderna (10%), Pfizer BioNTech (8%), Sinovac (6%) and Sinophram (4%). Majority (88%) of the respondents indicated social media as their source of information on COVID-19 vaccine followed by Health care providers (74%), Internet (68%) and Family members (34%). Majority (94%) of the respondents had vaccinated against COVID-19 whiles only 6% had not vaccinated. The study recommended that an urgent call is needed from the Government of Ghana and other stakeholders to address concerns about the safety and adverse/side effects of COVID-19 vaccines, as this would increase vaccine uptake. The study concluded that respondents showed good knowledge in relation to CVOID-19 vaccines. The most known vaccine was called Oxford-Astra Zeneca vaccine. Social media was the main source of information on COVID-19 vaccine. Respondents had a good attitude towards COVID-19 vaccination. Majority of respondents had vaccinated against COVID-19
