Objective: To determine if the perception of COVID-19 risk is associated to the intention to vaccinate against SARS-CoV2. Methods: A cross-sectional correlational study was conducted by means of a survey of unvaccinated persons against COVID-19 in the province of Trujillo in Peru. Participants were asked about their willingness to be vaccinated, their perceived risk of Covid-19, and other sociodemographic and clinical data. Their responses were entered into a multinomial logistic regression to assess possible predictors of an outcome variable, using ““intention to vaccinate““ as the dependent variable and taking ““YES““ as the reference category. Results: Of a sample of 383 participants (48.8% male, 35.2% aged 18-24 years), 67% intended to be vaccinated. Low risk perception of Covid-19 was found to be associated with intention to refuse vaccination, furthermore, high risk perception was found to increase vaccination intention (X2 = 4.280; p-value <0.05). A correlational analysis was performed using Spearman's Rho statistical test, finding a positive correlation between the two variables (coefficient of 0.158; p value < 0.05). Other variables in the refusal to receive the COVID-19 vaccine are: sex, religion, educational level, employment status, household size and history of COVID-19 in a close person. The most commonly cited reasons for hesitancywere concern about side effects and low confidence in the safety of the vaccine. Conclusion: There is a positive correlation between perceived risk of COVID-19 and intention to be vaccinated against SARS-CoV2, so a person who perceives a high risk of COVID-19 will intend to receive the SARS-CoV2 vaccine. Many demographic factors and personal beliefs influence resistance to vaccination
