Abstract :The COVID-19 pandemic had a global impact which left quite a few consequences in our country as well. Despite the emergency, studies regarding the mental health of young people or the promotion of vaccination in this segment of the population were non-existent. The paper thus remains focused on the forms of personality traits and the context created in our country by the COVID-19 pandemic, touching on concepts of social psychology and how these principles can be used in future vaccination campaigns. More specifically, the aim of this study is to measure attitudes towards the vaccination process. In support of vaccination campaigns, two hypotheses were raised for this study, the first stating that pro-vaccination youth would score higher than those against on the compliance dimension of the BIG-5, and the second which stated that pro- vaccination youth would score higher than those against in the dimension of being open to experiences according to the BIG-5. The approach of this study is of the nomothetic type, with the aim of studying broad groups of the population. A large sample is needed to gather data about personality traits and how they can be used to have a large-scale impact. The sampling of the study was composed of 188 young people (from the 12 regions of Albania) aged 15-29 participated in the study. This study reflected on some important data regarding young people and their attitudes towards vaccination against COVID-19. 42.6% of the participants in the study were in favor of vaccination, 27.7% against, and a significant part of the sample was undecided. This study reflected on some important data regarding young people and their behaviors towards vaccination against COVID-19. Both central hypotheses of this study were confirmed. Keywords : COVID-19 pandemic, vaccination, youth, compliance, openness to experiences, BIG-5.
