Figure 2. Research Paradigm

This present study would like to investigate whether

the respondents identified for this study who are parents

that are hesitant towards COVID-19 vaccinations in their

children in selected barangays in Butuan City. This is to

measure and determine the factors associated with vaccine

hesitancy.

The Conceptual Framework of the study showcases the

relationship between the factors associated with COVID-19

(independent variables) and vaccine hesitancy (dependent

variables). As for the age, sex, educational attainment and

occupation (intervening variables), they are intertwined

with the independent and dependent variables as the study

also aims to examine if there are significant differences

when the respondents are grouped according to their profile.

Hence, with the research findings, the researchers will

formulate an appropriate intervention program for the

respondents.
