The study examined the educational aspect of Covid vaccination and its acceptance by undergraduate students of University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria. The study used primary data through the usage of questionnaires shared to 180 undergraduate students of University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Findings showed that despite a high level of students understood Covid and its vaccination, a large number of Nigerian students have not been vaccinated and also not willing to be vaccinated. The study recommended that undergraduate students should endeavour to receive the two doses of the covid-19 vaccine when available. As undergraduates, they are expected to be role models in their respective families and communities.
