The aim of the article was to study the cognitive aspects of the perception of COVID-19 vaccination among young people in Vladivostok, using qualitative research methods, particularly in-depth interviews. To achieve this goal, a survey was conducted among students and working youth. The reconstruction of their views was carried out through the qualitative method of in-depth interviews. The respondents predominantly have a positive attitude towards vaccination (more than half of those surveyed), while neutral or contradictory views are less common. Almost all respondents see vaccination as a way to protect their health. However, on other issues, such as attitudes towards restrictive measures and the assessment of the safety of the Sputnik-V vaccine, the respondents' positions vary. The survey revealed two groups within the youth population, differing in their life stance and approach to solving health and safety issues. In general, young people recognize the necessity and benefits of vaccination and the associated restrictions. At the same time, they showed a high sensitivity to coercion and the limitation of choice. Complaints related to the violation of freedom of choice are the main criticisms of the vaccination campaign.
