Attitudes, beliefs, and knowledge about MMR vaccination among university students: Findings from a cross-sectional survey

Strengthening immunisation education in health curricula and promoting immunity testing and vaccination are vital for ensuring future healthcare workers are adequately prepared to protect themselves and their patients, and to prevent transmission of vaccine-preventable diseases in healthcare settings.
