 ABSTRACT

Covid-19 surely has affected the whole world. This pandemic has brought so

much fear and anxiety to all the people. It took quite some time to create vaccine to

flatten the curve and eventually end this pandemic. However, upon the availability of

various vaccines, people became skeptical of its side effects as there were different

hypothesis about this from people that were spread through social media, news, print and

word of mouth.

This research aims to identify the level of awareness of 4 th Year BSHM students in

TCSF-KNS with vaccination. Data were gathered through distributing questionnaires. At

the end of this research, we were able to analyze how aware and informed the students

are about vaccination.

 CHAPTER 1

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING

Introduction

Vaccines reduce risks of getting a disease by working with your body’s

natural defenses to build protection. When you get a vaccine, your immune system

responds. It recognizes the invading germ, such as the virus or bacteria. Produces

antibodies. Antibodies are proteins produced naturally by the immune system to fight

disease. Remembers the disease and how to fight it. If you are then exposed to the

germ in the future, your immune system can quickly destroy it before you become

unwell.

The vaccine is therefore a safe and clever way to produce an immune

response in the body, without causing illness. Our immune systems are designed to

remember. Once exposed to one or more doses of a vaccine, we typically remain

protected against a disease for years, decades or even a lifetime. This is what makes

vaccines so effective. Rather than treating a disease after it occurs, vaccines prevent

us in the first instance from getting sick.

Vaccines and childhood immunization are vital practices to protecting

yourself, your children, and the entire population from contracting dangerous

diseases and from preventing outbreaks and pandemics

As we are experiencing now with COVID-19, pandemics are scary, life-

changing and affect much more than just our health and daily lives. Vaccines protect

against diseases that have the possibility to become pandemics, and by continuously

Page | 1
 vaccinating, it is even possible for diseases to become completely eliminated

– for example, smallpox.

Research Objectives

This research aims to provide skeptical data and information about the rapid

deployment of vaccines against Covid-19. Efficient and effective vaccination

strategies should be directed by explicit objectives. Although many people are eager

to get vaccinated, there are also significant proportions of the population who are

hesitant or mistrustful of the vaccines and the vaccination process. The goal of this

study is to increase the motivation to get a COVID-19 vaccine by delivering

effective, tailored messages to the segments of the population that have higher levels

of vaccine hesitancy.

Statement of the Problem

This research study is to assess the level of awareness in different vaccines to fight corona

virus disease to all the BS-HM 4-1 College Student, taking up BSHM in Technological College

of San Felipe Academic year 2021-2022, to find the necessary data needed, the students must

answer the following questions;

1. How safe are the covid-19 vaccines?

2. What is in a vaccine?

3. Are vaccines safe?

4. Are there side effects from the vaccine?

Significance of the Study

This study about the "The Level of the Awareness Towards Covid-19

Vaccine of all BS-HM 4-1 College Students in TCSF-KNS A. Y. 2021-2022” also

aims to help the following:

School Administration for them to know the level of awareness of students

in Covid 19-vaccine

Students to get them motivated and increase their level of awareness in

Covid-19 vaccines

To the other Researchers to help them to make their researchers about the

problem as basic research.

Research Locale

The researchers will conduct the study in Technological College of San Felipe, located at

the Fuenticilla St., Barangay Amagna, San Felipe, Zambales.

Technological College of San Felipe established on September 8, 2012 and registered at

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is a non-stock, non-profit educational institution

founded at the 3rd floor of San Felipe Public mall located at the National Road, Barangay West

Feria in San Felipe, Zambales.

The primary purpose is to provide quality and affordable education within the reach of the

people of San Felipe and neighboring towns of Cabangan and San Narciso. Furthermore, TCSF

promotes dual training programs through close mutinously exposed to both academic and actual

Page | 3
work environment that will equip students’ essential knowledge, desirable attitude and develop

necessary skills to be globally competitive.

TCSF on its first year operation offers programs under the Technical Education and Skills

Development Authority (TESDA) it concentrates on Hospitality Services, Tourism Sector,

Information Technology, and Electronics Servicing. More so, TCSF is looking forward for the

opportunities to engage in the development and expansion of its existing program offerings and

upgrade its facilities to support its various programs.

Within 9 years of operation, TCSF has proven to be one of the best training grounds for future

experts because of its drive and commitment to developing global competent professionals. The

years ahead prove to be truly promising as TCSF continues to push the boundaries of innovative

education and learning in San Felipe and the rest of Zambales.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

In this research of The Level of Awareness Towards Covid 19 Vaccine to All

BSHM 4-1 Students in TCSF-KNS 2021-2022. The researchers assure that the

gathered information of foreign and local literature and studies are sustainable which

can help our research to stand and prove more specifically. The researchers adequate

it very well where our research will become relevant and helpful to the next

researchers.

RELATED LITERATURE

Foreign

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) rapidly spread around the globe and it has led to an

economic crisis alongside a health care crisis in many countries and regions across

the world. It was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on

March 11, 2020, affecting 114 countries by that time. Even today, COVID-19 is still

a threat to the health systems of nearly 150 countries and regions, especially those

Page | 6
dealing with an international health emergency for the first time. In China, authorities

and citizens acted quickly and effectively to contain the spread of COVID-19. The

measures taken included several lockdown policies and strict preventive measures

across the country, offering a model of COVID-19 pandemic control to other

countries and regions. Aside from that, different countries worldwide are formulating

vaccines to have a concrete way to prevent the spread of the said disease. The

vaccines that has been already accepted and approved by Department of Health are

BioNTech, Pfizer vaccine, CoronaVac Vaccine, Covaccine Vaccine, Johnson &

Johnshon Vaccine, Moderna Vaccine, Oxford AstraZeneca Vaccine, SinoPharm

Vaccine Sputnik Light and Sputnik V Vaccine. As COVID-19 vaccines become

available, many employers are asking if they can require employees to get

vaccinated.

Local

Lockdowns and policy actions to curtail the transmission of COVID-19 have

widespread health system, economic, and societal impacts. Health systems of low-to-

middle-income countries may have fewer buffering resources and capacity against

shocks from a pandemic. This paper presents a preliminary review on the collateral

health systems impact of COVID-19 in the Philippines through review of academic

and grey literature, supplemented by a qualitative survey. Community quarantines

alongside transport and boarder restrictions have universally impacted health service

access and delivery, affecting patients requiring specialist care the most. Existing

record-keeping and surveillance measures were hampered as existing resources were

tapped to perform COVID19-related tasks. Local health systems reinforced

Page | 7
 gatekeeping mechanisms for secondary and tertiary care through referral systems and

implemented telemedicine services to reduce face-to-face consultation. The health

system impacts in the Philippines have been variegated across municipal income

class and topography, contributed by long-standing symptoms of inequitable resource

allocation.

RELATED STUDIES

Foreign

It is critical to continue to raise awareness regarding the efficacy of COVID-19

vaccines, specifically with favorable comparisons to other well-established vaccines,

according to a study led by the University of Bristol and published in the British

Journal of Health Psychology.

The researchers found that adults who were unsure about receiving the COVID-19

vaccine and who were given more information about the vaccine’s efficacy scored

20% higher on a measure of willingness to be vaccinated versus others who received

no information. Further, receptivity improved and increased almost as double among

survey respondents who were given information about how COVID-19 vaccines

perform compared to the flu vaccine.

“The general positive effect of providing key information is not surprising, as we

knew already that people’s perception of the effectiveness of a vaccine is an

important factor in their vaccination intentions,” said lead study author Colin Davis,

professor and chair in Cognitive Psychology, in a press release. “But the extra benefit

Page | 8
of providing comparative information is a novel finding that underscores the vital

role of communication in improving vaccine uptake.”

The data come from 2 surveys of UK adults between 18 and 85 years of age

conducted in December 2020. In the first survey, 2400 people revealed that 65%

agreed or strongly agreed they would take the COVID-19 vaccine. Further, 12%

were equally sure that they would not take the vaccine. In the middle range, 23% of

respondents expressed reservations and uncertainty about whether they would be

vaccinated.

The second survey of followed 481 adults with a goal to provide certain relevant

information to improve the willingness to be vaccinated. Most participants were

unsure about having the vaccine when no information was given; however,

confidence levels grew by 20% when the efficacy of the Pfizer/BioNTech and

Moderna vaccines were discussed. The likelihood of being vaccinated grew by a

similar margin when

information about COVID-19 vaccines also listed the efficacy of the flu vaccine over

the past 15 years (40%).

“The findings show the positive potential of the contrast effect. Pointing out factual

comparisons can be helpful when making a decision, particularly about something

new. People value evidence-based information and this can provide affirmation and

reassurance for cautious groups,” Davis said in the press release. “It’s also important

Page | 9
 to note the information we provided about the lower effectiveness of the flu jab did

not change people’s intention to have the flu vaccine. Perception of the flu vaccine

benefits from its familiarity and an established sense of safety and efficacy. By

positively associating the COVID-19 vaccine with the well-known flu jab, people are

reminded that vaccines work and they are safe.”

In the latest figures, vaccine uptake is slowing down, with the average number of

doses administered daily dropping from more than a half-million doses per day to

under one-third of a million in the past 2 months. In England, approximately 95% of

individuals between 55 years of age and 79 years of age and 80% of individuals 35

years of age and older have had their first dose. This number drops to 76% among

individuals from 30 to 35 years of age, 65% for those 25 to 29 years of age, and 57%

among those 18 to 24 years of age, according to the study.

“Younger people perhaps perceive themselves to be less vulnerable to COVID-19

virus. While mortality rates are fortunately much lower in this age group, exposure to

the virus carries the danger of long-COVID in people of all ages,” Davis said in the

press release. “By getting vaccinated young people can protect themselves and also

reduce transmission levels in the population as a whole. “

Local

The Philippines recorded its first suspected coronavirus (COVID-19) case in January

2020 and over 500 cases have been confirmed by the beginning of March of that

year. Efforts to control the spread of infections resulted in the government imposing

Page | 10
strict lockdowns nationwide, prohibiting movement across populations, closure of

non-essential establishments, suspension of in-person classes, and stringent border

control measures. This resulted in a massive impact on the country’s real gross

domestic product (GDP) as well as the tourism industry’s performance.

Government efforts on curbing disease spread

  Government efforts to minimize the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19)

disease primarily focused on introducing lockdowns, particularly in areas with high

numbers of cases. While restrictions resulted in lower rates of transmissions, the

government’s quarantine measures made it international headlines for being the

longest lockdowns across the globe. The lockdown, which was first implemented

on March 12, 2020, persisted in some regions, with the degree of restrictions

changing according to the number of recorded cases. In addition, the government

has set up facilities to conduct massive testing as well as contact tracing efforts to

detect, isolate, and treat possible COVID-19cases.

The levels of quarantine restrictions in the country have been classified in four

phases: enhanced community quarantine (ECQ), modified ECQ (MECQ), general

community quarantine (GCQ), and modified general community quarantine

(MGCQ). ECQ restricts all forms of movement, with public transportation

unavailable except for public shuttles which are limited to front liners. However,

company shuttles and personal vehicles are also allowed, as long as they have

special permits to operate. MECQ is a more relaxed phase of the ECQ, which

allows limited outdoor activities and restricted gathering for a maximum of five

Page | 11
 people. GCQ allows movement across populations except for the vulnerable such

as the elderly and the youth. Contact sports are still limited while gathering is

allowed for up to 10 people. Transportation is also allowed at this point, with strict

safe distancing. MGCQ allows socio-economic activities with minimal public

health restrictions.

  On top of the quarantine measures and massive testing efforts, the government also

implemented vaccination campaigns nationwide in March 2021. With a target of 58

million people by the end of the year, roughly 10 million were already fully

vaccinated as of August 3, 2021. To complement the government’s efforts, business

establishments have also offered discounts to fully vaccinated Filipinos. However, a

May 2021 survey revealed that Filipinos have mixed feelings about getting a

COVID-19 vaccine, citing the possible side effects as the main reason for their

uncertainty.

CHAPTER 3

Research Design

The descriptive research method will be used in this study. The researchers

will produce a descriptive questionnaire and survey for the respondents. This method

is well-organized which is easy for the researchers to interpret and analyze the data

gathered from the beach resorts owner- respondents.

Population and Samples

The researchers of this study used BSHM fourth year college students in

TCSF-KNS. Additionally, this study will also use a clustering type of sampling

Page | 12
technique to help the researchers in proving that there is a relevant relationship

between the level of awareness of all BSBA 4 th year college students in TCSF-KNS

and their response to it.

Research Instrument

This research is about the level of awareness of BSHM 4-1 college students

of TCSF-NHS. We used a questionnaire type of instrument having Closed-Ended

types of questioning and used a cluster sampling technique to help the researchers in

proving the level of awareness of students with vaccination.

Validation procedure

The researchers devised and planned the questioners that will be given to all BSHM

4-1 college students in TCSF-NHS. The instrument that will be used for the study is

the questionnaire control constructed by the researchers.

Data gathering procedure

The research will finalize the draft including all the suggestions and

correcting any mistakes that the respondents encountered. The researchers have

chosen the usage of questionnaires as an instrument for the source of data. The

questionnaire is composed of ten close-ended questions tailor-fitted to answer the

statement of the problem. It was disseminated to 39 students who agreed in

participating in the survey. After the data was gathered, it was analyzed through the

Percentage Distribution Formula and Pearson’s Correlational Coefficient formula.

Data processing procedure and statistical treatment of data

Page | 13
 The researchers will use a survey questioner to collect data will be gathered, the

instrument that will be used will be tallied, tabulated and analyze and will be

interpreted accordingly. The researchers will be using the following statistical tools:

1. Percentage distribution

This is used to determine the distribution of respondents' profiles

% = (f/n) x 100

2. Pearson’s Correlational Coefficient

This is used to test the validity of correlation between two variables.

Data analysis

The data analysis will be conducted in the next part of the study, and it is used to

analyze the answers to the survey. In addition, the Researchers used the formula

(f/13) x 100, where "f" is the frequency of the number of the respondents that

answered a specific option used to determine its percentage out of the total number of

respondents which is 13. The researcher organizes the data and conducts a quick

overview of them to derive meaningful results more effectively.

Respondents of the study

The respondents of the study are limited to BSHM 4th Year college students of

TCSF-KNS. The total distribution of the respondents' shows in the table below.

CHAPTER 5

SUMMARY FINDINGS

This study aims to check the level of awareness of BSHM 4-1 year students taking up Bachelor in

Science in Hospitality Management at Technological College of San Felipe (Kolehiyo ng Subic). The

researchers distributed questionnaire with open-ended questions regarding Covid-19 vaccines. This

questions challenged their opinions and belief about vaccinations, its effect, credibility and their

response to the idea.

The outcome of this study is very important as we approach the “new normal”. Students have

been learning online and were able to adapt both from its advantages and disadvantages. Vaccination is

our next step to flatten the curve of covid-19 cases. In this study, we will be able to know how the

students think of this next step, and how well they respond to the idea. This will allow all of those

concern to assess whether we are doing a good job on disseminating information about the vaccine. The

result of this study will give us new ideas and perspective in the future, for the students’ future.

CONCLUSION

The results of the survey are analyzed very well to make sure that the data presented are accurate.

Proper data analysis was observed to conclude and assess the whole research.

The questions were positively related to Covid-19 vaccinations, thus, positive answers will show that the

students are confident and or considerate about vaccination. The total number of those who either

“strongly agreed” or “agreed” are relevantly higher compare to those who chose “disagree” and

“strongly disagree”. This shows that majority of the students are considerate and is aware of

vaccination; its effects and purpose. However, in certain questions, like its effectivity and safety, it is

clear that majority of them were neutral. This means that although they may be aware of the

vaccination and all the information that goes with it, they’re still skeptical or undecided whether to be

vaccinated or not. The certain question where those who answered neutral (46%) is about their trust

with the vaccine itself.

The result shows that majority of the students are informed about the vaccination, which is a good sign

that awareness is at a high level. 72.30769% of the answers were either “strongly agreed” or “agreed”,

the rest were “neutral” or “disagree”. We therefore conclude that the study shows that 4 th year students

of TSCF-KNS taking up BSHM has a relatively high level of covid-19 vaccine awareness.

However, it also shows that a portion of them are still undecided, skeptical and uninformed. This gives

us opportunity to assess why and how can all the people (faculty, students, school administrations, local

health units, and others) work better in spreading awareness and proper information about Covid19

vaccination.

RECOMMENDATION

This study has provided accurate data of student’s insight about Covid-19 vaccines. This has given us

statistics about them and provided opportunities for improvement to all those concerned.

We recommend this study to fellow students to assess their knowledge about vaccination as this seems

to be the most important thing to consider at the present time. Students should do their own research

about the said topic and be able to differentiate facts and “fake news” specially in social media. They

should consider the credibility of the sources of relevant information. They can also refer to this for their

future research paper.

To the faculty members and the school administration, the study showed positive response rate from

the students. This means that the school have been providing them proper information about the

vaccine. This may also give us chance to re-assess disseminating information. We recommend to have

virtual seminar about vaccination.

We also recommend this to parents and families of the students to encourage others to consider being

vaccinated. While the researchers are respecting “freewill”, we must not forget that we have a

responsibility towards one another and that is taking care each and everyone.

To the Government health units, this study may give you further insights to further improve the

campaign for vaccination.
