The pandemic of COVID 19 globally has caused unimaginable and inconceivable detrimental consequences at the level of society and the individual. Different groups in the world are suffering the health, economic, social and psychological consequences of this pandemic. The comprehensiveness and intensity of adverse effects and consequences is particularly visible at the level of the student population (youth). The imposed restrictions in the educational and social sense, as well as the concern for preserving one's own health and the health of others, have become a powerful challenge that young people have to deal with. In this regard, the development of a vaccine against COVID 19 has provided an effective tool to control and stop the spread of the disease. Therefore, the aim of this paper was to examine students' attitudes about vaccination against COVID 19 from a pedagogical perspective. The survey was conducted using a questionnaire, based on a mixed methodology, on a sample of students from different areas within the Republic of Croatia (N = 164). The results showed that students who have been vaccinated or express the intention to get vaccinated, cite personal protection and protection of loved ones and high-risk idividuals in the wider community as the main reasons, but also the desire to return to the way of life that they had before the outbreak of the pandemic. Also, a study of student civic responsibility showed that students have a relatively high level of responsibility, and a positive correlation was found between experiencing vaccination as an expression of civic responsibility and understanding the importance of vaccination in stopping the spread of disease and finally ending the pandemic. In addition, the analysis of the results did not establish a statistically significant level of correlation between the influence of the media and media reporting and students' attitudes about different aspects of vaccination and the reasons for vaccination.
