In the fight that every life is in danger against the enemy human kind can’t see in their naked
eye, A disease that is killing millions of people around the world called Corona Virus 2019
(COVID19), The W.H.O. or World Health Organization issued a list of vaccines that can help
the people to have a weapon than can minimize the effect of the virus. The people in this
community are hesitant to take vaccines due to lack of knowledge, misinformation from social
media or false religious beliefs. This study aims to give the right and fact knowledge about the
COVID Vaccines despite it’s Physical Side Effect.

Introduction
The world is now grieving because of the difficulty that all of us are facing. This is not
something that can be changed overnight. It is not a war that can be solved over a cease-fire. rich
or poor, anyone can be infected with the deadly virus. It seems the conflict between different
countries suddenly stopped. The enemy now is not a human, and with that, we are fighting in a
battle with a blindfold on. Every problem must have a solution, so the Health Organization
proposed a vaccination to fight the virus.
Being fully vaccinated can help you fight with the virus especially in adolescence, in times
where we don’t have a cure against a virus. It is really helpful to have a vaccine against it.in our
research, we found that being vaccinated will familiarize our body with the virus which means
that we can fight against the virus and that will cost us less hassle.
This research has the purpose of giving knowledge about the vaccines against the Covid-19 and
its effects. There are people especially the adolescence that misunderstood the vaccine and are
not aware of it. Our study will somehow have a contribution to our community by spreading

facts about the vaccine effect. This study shares the knowledge for those who don't want to get
vaccinated that will surely help everyone whom will read this and will prevent the spreading of
the virus further more. We intend to help by at least sharing the facts to others to take the vaccine
so that we have a sword and shield to fight against the virus.
Based on World Health Organization (2021) Vaccine can prevent harmful diseases from harming
you by receiving vaccinations - it's simple, safe, and effective. Your immune system becomes
stronger and resists specific infections with the help of your body's natural defenses. Just as
when you are exposed to a disease, vaccination trains your immune system to produce
antibodies. In spite of this, because vaccines have only killed or weakened forms of germs like
viruses or bacteria, they do not cause any illness or put you at risk for complications.

As stated by Dr. Benjamin Co (2021, August 6), A infectious Diseases and Chemical
Pharmacology Specialist, that there is no such thing as vaccine that will 100% prevent infections.
You are only avoiding the severe outcomes and that’s what vaccines are.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQk8M-g2oGI
According to CDC (2020) The COVID-19 vaccines help people develop an immunity against the
virus that causes it.
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/different-vaccines/how-they-work
As stated by Dr. Soumya Swaninathan, W.H.O. Chief Secretary, the W.H.O. listed that the
Covid vaccines do protect against developing sever disease due to virus, those who are
vaccinated are much less likely to end up having severe ill. A full cource of vaccination is in
need to fully immunity to protect you against the virus. She also said that the Vaccine are
important because: 1. It was to prevent the severe ill and 2. To be not on the chain of
transmission as we need to stop the transmission of the virus to further affect more.

Review of Related Literature
History of Covid-19
As specified by W.H.O. (2021) An infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Most
people infected with the virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover
without requiring special treatment. However, some will become seriously ill and require
medical attention. Older people and those with underlying medical conditions like cardiovascular
disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, or cancer are more likely to develop serious illness.
Anyone can get sick with COVID-19 and become seriously ill or die at any age. The virus can
spread from an infected person’s mouth or nose in small liquid particles when they cough,
sneeze, speak, sing or breathe. These particles range from larger respiratory droplets to smaller
aerosols. It is important to practice respiratory etiquette, for example by coughing into a flexed
elbow.

As mention by Dr. Edsal Salvana, an Infectious Disease Expert, the variant that we are facing
now is called delta variant that is more dangerous than the original Covid virus.
Covid Vaccines
According to National Human Genome Research Institute (2020) Messenger RNA is a kind of
RNA which is single stranded and is involved in protein synthesis. It is made of from DNA
template during transcription and has a role of carrying protein information from the DNA into
the nucleus and to the cytoplasm of the cell. Then, the protein making machinery read the
sequence of the mRNA for translation in a growing protein chain. Messenger RNA is a type of
nucleic acid helping the human genome and coded in DNA which is read by cellular machinery.
Aside from nuclei, we have ribosomes and other cellular organelles responsible for DNA
translation. However, in these processes, the mRNA is perceived as the translated form of DNA
recognized by machinery and responsible for assembling amino acids into proteins. Therefore,

despite the DNA always having emphasized in discussions, the mRNA is indeed a vital piece in
which living organisms are created. Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna are both from this type of
vaccine.

As explained by CDC (2020, March 14) the comprehensive overview of the viral vector vaccines
which utilized a different version of the virus to the targeted virus to transmit significant
instructions to cells. The CDC also emphasized the comparability of the viral vector vaccines to
other vaccines that causes no crucial side effects or threat of being sick to the person receiving it.
Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen COVID-19 vaccine (viral vector) In some circumstances, the
J&J/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine may be subjected to consideration.

According to Bass P. (2021, August 9) Inactivated vaccines that utilized a killed virus or bacteria
to facilitate the immune system protecting the body from infection. The inactivated vaccine is
also compared to the live vaccine in terms of purpose but differs in procedures and the level of

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

protection it can produce. The discussion of the inactive vaccine included its history developed at
the end of the 19th century. Types of inactivated are also discussed along with their advantages
and disadvantages. The vaccine durability pertains to the length of time that the vaccine is
perceived as effective while inactivated vaccines have a dead pathogen, this became
advantageous in the storage and shipping as it makes the transport easier.
https://www.verywellhealth.com/what-is-an-inactivated-vaccine-201081
As believed by DOH (2021, May 20), There are 3 reasons why the people don’t want to get
vaccinated:1. The physical effect 2. The misinformation from the social media and lastly people
don’t have trust with the government.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow5Yeiqy8L0&t=214s
As stated by Maragakis. L & Kelen G. (2021, November 9) There are common side effects of
vaccines, but they are temporary like flu, body aches, head-aches and fever. These symptoms do
not mean you are sick. They signal that your immune system is responding to the shot and
building up protection against the coronavirus.

side-effects
As Confirm by Department of Health (DOH) (2021), Covid 19 vaccination is needed against the
covid virus. It is not a cure but a prevention, for our immune system to be familiar with the virus.
Taking shots may encounter side effects. Examples are; -Fever -Headache -Fatigue -Muscle pain.
https://doh.gov.ph/Vaccines/Possible-Side-Effects-after-Getting-the-COVID-19-Vaccine
In addition, the World Health Organization (2021a, March 31) the side effects associated with
COVID-19 vaccines, most of these will subside with time on their own. There is a possibility of
more severe or long-term side effects, as shown in clinical trials. The safety of vaccines is
constantly monitored. COVID-19 side effects are mostly mild to moderate and last no longer
than a few days. Injection site pain, fever, fatigue, headache, and muscle pain are common side
effects. After vaccination, each vaccine carries a different risk of side effects. As long as you're
healthy and well, you'll be protected against SPARS-CoV-2 with the COVID-19 vaccine.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

_____________________________________________________________________________________________
_
__
As the community is suffering with this disease, the officials and health experts introduce the
vaccine but a problem rose, the hesitancy and misinformation that spread around the social
media causing people especially adolescents to not take vaccines.
This study aims to:
To give the right knowledge about the vaccines.
To share information about the effect of the vaccine.
To pursue nonvaccinated adolescents to take vaccine.
General Questions.
What type/s of Covid vaccine did you took?
What physical side effect/s did your experienced after the immunization?
Did you take any medication to cure the physical side effects of vaccine?

_____________________________________________________________________________________________
_
__
If yes, what type of medication did you use?
If no, How did you deal with the Physical side effect/s?
How long did the physical side effect of the vaccine last?
Hypothesis
A simple hypothesis. The study expects that the physical side effect of the COVID-19 is normal
and that the knowledge about the vaccines and the physical side effects are facts.
SCOPE AND DELIMITATION
This study will be conducted within the G12 of Senior High School of Masantol High School
using google form. The respondent has to answer what vaccine they took, if they experience
physical side effect, if they took a medicine after they experience physical side effect and how
many days, they experience the physical side effect.
For the future researchers to research deeper about the covid vaccine
For the community to pursue hesitant people
METHODOLOGY

RESEARCH DESIGN
This study utilizes the combination of qualitative and quantative design that will specify the
experiences of individuals affiliated with the given study topic while qualitative research
discusses the understanding within the experiences of individuals in certain situations. According
to Creswell (2013,) the qualitative with phenomenological approach talks about the lived
experience of individuals with different experiences but insignificant status. The research is a
qualitative study concerning the physical side effects of covid vaccine.
The researchers utilized a phenomenological research design and methodology to attain the
target goals of this study. It will focus on the experience of the respondents in taking the vaccine.
The approach of this study is exploratory, qualitative, non-experimental, and interpretative
phenomenological.
SAMPLING METHOD
In this study we used Voluntary Response Sampling Technique. It is under the non-Probability
sampling. Our participants have to participate voluntarily in answering our survey questions
related to the topic. It is not mandatory, only those who wants to response will do. We will do the

_____________________________________________________________________________________________
_

survey online and send the link to target population and it is self-chosen participants. it depends
on them if they volunteer to be a respondent of our study. It depends purely on the individual’s
willingness and awareness of the topic to participate in the study. This study aims to show how
the vaccines affects the respondents; it is based on what they have experienced after taking the
vaccine. It may be a biased response due to the respondents tend to answer the questions based
on his/her strong opinion about the subject.
DATA COLLECTION METHOD
Survey, Using the 2 methods of survey which are the: (1) asked people to fill the questionnaire
by themselves; (2) asked them directly and record their answer. Although in our current situation
google form is where we will let the respondents answer by themselves and through messenger
or online call is where we will ask health workers.
What type/s of Covid vaccine did you took?
Sinovac
Pfizer

CONCLUSION
Based on our study, we conclude that vaccine is here to against the virus but will help you
decease the chances of you getting the severe and serious ill form the virus. And for the Physical
side effect of the vaccine, they are normal side effect in which means that are body is reacting to
the vaccine, still, maintaining a good health, exercise everyday and eat healthy foods will have a
great help in maintaining the virus outside our lives.
We conduct this research to help the community to have the knowledge and information about
the physical side effect of the COVID vaccine, we believe that this research will greatly help
health officials to finally ease the mind of the hesitant especially adolescents and pursue them to
take full vaccination.
We, the researcher of this study encourages everyone to take the covid vaccines as it is 100%
safe and guaranteed by experts inside and outside our country, with this we will certainly stop
the spread of the disease further more.
