Abstract
The study the attitude of population towards the necessity of vaccination. The survey about the attitude towards vaccination among different groups of population was held. In total there were 1209 respondents: 1031 students of medical, humanitarian and tech- nical universities and 178 parents of children under 2. The most positive attitude towards vaccination was shown by medical students (77%) and parents (71%) and only 33% and, 37% of humanitarian and technical students correspondently realize the significance of vaccination. It is worth noting that large number of people could not define their attitude to vaccination. The ma- jority of respondents notices the lack of knowledge about vaccination wherein less than 50% of respondents get the information from doctors. The rest gets it from different sources mostly from the Internet. About 80% of respondents would prefer to get answers to their questions about vaccination in the Internet. The adherence of population of Russia to vaccination has a rather low level. The main reason for it is the lack of knowledge and availability oftrue information about vaccination. It is necessary to use diverse sources of information to provide the population with true facts about vaccination, its significance and safety via mass media and the Internet as well.
