    The objective was to evaluate the relationship between the level of knowledge and attitude toward the COVID-19 vaccine among residents of the Túpac Amaru de Villa shantytown in Chorrillos, within the context of the health emergency. Methodology: This was a hypothetical-deductive study with a quantitative approach, an applied type, and a non-experimental, observational, cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 281 residents over 18 years old, selected by probabilistic sampling. Data collection was performed using a questionnaire for knowledge and a Likert scale for attitude. Both were validated by expert judgment and deemed reliable (KR-20 = 0.63 and Cronbach's α = 0.93). Results: The level of knowledge was medium (68.7%). 76.2% presented a positive attitude, and 23.8% a negative attitude toward the vaccine. No significant difference was found between knowledge and sociodemographic characteristics (for all p > 0.05), nor between attitude and sociodemographic characteristics (for all p > 0.05). However, a significant difference was found between the level of knowledge and attitude toward the COVID-19 vaccine (p=0.008 and contingency coefficient 0.182). Conclusion: A relationship exists between the level of knowledge and attitude toward the COVID-19 vaccine among residents of the Túpac Amaru de Villa shantytown in Chorrillos.
