One major potential barrier to the success of COVID-19 vaccinations is a negative

public opinion of the vaccine. A June 2020 survey found that 71.5% of people
would be very or somewhat likely to take a COVID-19 vaccine, leaving almost a
third less accepting of the vaccine. If significant portions of the population were to
reject the vaccine, this could have a serious impact on the vaccine’s potential
efficacy at controlling the spread of COVID-19. Some populations, in particular,
have low acceptance rates; in Russia, for example, less than 55% of those
surveyed would accept the vaccine.

IV. Evaluation:

Activity No. 2
Read the passage and answer the following questions after. You can find
this at page 3 of your module.

People should start giving importance to our natural resources. The coast of Greece for example, is
famous for its sandy beaches, caves, cliffs, and blue water. It is the longest coastline in all of Europe.
It stretches for about 8,500 miles. Although the mainland has many beautiful lakes and mountains,
Greece is also well known for its thousands of islands which are known by tourists all over the world.

Long ago, most of the country was covered in trees. Over time, many of these forests were cut down.
The wood was used for lumber and for firewood. Forests were also cut to make room for farmers to
raise crops. This is the reason that if you were to go to Greece today, you would see very few forests.

In an effort to save and protect the country’s natural areas, Greece started setting aside land for parks.
In 1938, the first of ten national parks was founded. It is called Mt. Olympus National Park. Greece
also has marine (water) parks. These marine parks do many important things. One of them is
protecting two sea animals that were going extinct (dying out). The two animals are the monk seal
and the loggerhead turtle. These parks make sure that the natural wonders of Greece will be there for
visitors from all over the world to enjoy.
