Vaccines are converted preparations to generate immunity against different infectious and contagious diseases, stimulating the immune system and preventing disease. Throughout history, the need for its implementation has been reinforced, however, in recent years, there are movements that call into question its effectiveness, generating a “anti-vaccine movement”, spreading fear towards them. This reluctance has caused the regrowth of controlled diseases, such as measles and threatens to reverse the achievements.
The purpose of this study was to identify beliefs about effectiveness and general knowledge of vaccines and the level of adherence to them in students of Medicine and Engineering in the City of Córdoba in June 2019.
A descriptive observational study was conducted randomly by dissemination in social network Instagram, of a survey designed and validated for this purpose, during June 2019, where 643 students from 1st to 6th year of UNC Medicine and different careers voluntarily participated of Engineering of the UTN. It consists of limited questions with short and concrete answers: "They cure / prevent / make / do nothing." Respect the adherence of vaccination: if the participant has placed the vaccines that correspond to him by calendar, select the answer in: “yes / no”.
The results show that 96% of Medical students believe that vaccines prevent diseases, while Engineering students show 87% regarding the same item. Regarding adherence: 97% have vaccines in place according to the official calendar.
This study shows that beliefs about vaccines affectiveness and action are higher in Medical students, perhaps favored by academic information. Adherence is similar in the participating populations.

Las vacunas son preparaciones destinadas a generar inmunidad contra diferentes enfermedades infectocontagiosas, estimulando el sistema inmune y evitando la enfermedad. A lo largo de la historia, se ha reforzado la necesidad de su implementación, no obstante, en los últimos años, existen movimientos que ponen en duda su eficacia, generando un “movimiento antivacunas”, difundiendo temor hacia las mismas. Esta renuencia, ha provocado el rebrote de enfermedades controladas, como por ejemplo sarampión y amenaza con revertir los logros obtenidos. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar creencias sobre efectividad y conocimiento general de las vacunas y el nivel de adherencia a las mismas en estudiantes de Medicina e Ingeniería en la Ciudad de Córdoba en el mes de junio de 2019. Se llevó a cabo un análisis descriptivo observacional aleatorio, por divulgación en red social Instagram, de una encuesta diseñada y validada para este propósito, durante junio de 2019, donde voluntariamente participaron 643 estudiantes de 1° a 6° año de Medicina de la UNC y diferentes carreras de Ingenierías de la UTN. Consiste en preguntas acotadas con respuestas cortas y concretas: “Curan/previenen/enferman/no hacen nada”. Respecto a la adherencia de vacunación: si el participante tiene colocadas las vacunas que le corresponden por calendario, se circunscribe la respuesta en: “si/no” El 96% de los estudiantes de medicina cree que las vacunas previenen enfermedades, mientras que los estudiantes de Ingeniería manifiestan respecto al mismo ítem un 87%. Respecto a la adherencia: el 97 % tienen colocadas las vacunas que le corresponden según el calendario oficial. Los resultados muestran que la creencia sobre efectividad y acción de vacunas es mayor en estudiantes de medicina, quizás favorecida por la formación académica. La adherencia es similar en las poblaciones participantes. Universidad Nacional Córdoba. Facultad de Ciencias Médicas.
