ABSTRACT

Elderly and patients with comorbid conditions have higher risk of infection and complications.

Vaccination hesitancy is defined as the refusal of vaccine or the delay in accepting it despite the

availability of vaccines and vaccination services. This study was aimed at assessing knowledge,

perception, and acceptability of healthcare staff towards different types of COVID-19

vaccination. A multicenter hospital-based descriptive cross-sectional study was implemented to

study the knowledge, perception, and acceptability of healthcare staff towards COVID-19

vaccination. Multistage sampling technique was applied. Data were collected through a self-

administered questionnaire filled by the participants. 400 participants were studied. 61% of the

participants were females, and the most frequent age reported was between 18 and 35 years

(67%).

A statistically significant association () was found between knowledge about vaccination and

professions. The most common vaccine type known and accepted was AstraZeneca vaccine. On

assessing acceptability of COVID-19 vaccination, acceptance rate was high (63.8%) and 22.7%

of the participants had already got vaccinated. The rejection rate among our staff was 27.4%.

This study was conducted in April, 2021.

The researcher chose The Importance use of Vaccination to the Selected Citizens of Saint

Survey Questionnaire in the form of checklist was considered by the researchers as the right
instrument for gathering data for the study. Based on the data gathered using Chi- square

influence of their parents, friends and interest. It only means that, the other people that are not
included in the study might not be influenced by factors also. Therefore, the government and its
department responsible for implementing The Importance use of Vaccination to the Selected
Citizens of Saint Martha, Basilio Street Phase Deca Homes” should make a lot of effort for them
to achieve their main objective.

Chapter 1

INTRODUCTION

Presented in this chapter are the introduction, background of the study, theoretical

framework, conceptual framework, research paradigm of the study, statement of the problem,

hypothesis, and significance of the study.

Background of the Study

Vaccines by definition are biological agents that elicit an immune response to a

specific antigen derived from an infectious disease-causing pathogen. Edward Jenner developed

the first vaccine in 1796 using cowpox to inoculate against smallpox. His groundbreaking work

ultimately led to the global eradication of smallpox, officially declared in 1980. Since then,

vaccines have helped to suppress the spread of several infectious diseases including polio, which

has been eliminated from many countries, including all of those located within North and South

America and Europe. With the continued use of vaccines, it is tempting to speculate that other

infectious diseases will soon follow suit. Unfortunately, we have taken a large step backward

with the vocalization of the anti-vaccine movement and the reduction in vaccine acceptance.

Although arguably one of man’s greatest discoveries, vaccines have always been met

with some hesitation, even in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Yet recently, vaccination has

rapidly become a highly controversial issue, due in large part to an erroneous link between

vaccines and autism. It is important to shed light on the necessity of immunization and the value

it offers both personally and publicly. Universal vaccine acceptance is essential to providing herd

immunity, such that those who are unable to be directly protected by vaccination are protected by

GRADE 10
 FIRST PROGRESSIVE ACADEMY, INC.
communal immunity. Vaccine education will be critical in maintaining the forward progress that

has been made in reducing or eliminating many infectious diseases.

In an attempt to better understand the concerns surrounding vaccines, Hausman and colleagues

examine the relationship between Progressive Era immunization concerns and those being

voiced in today’s society. In a rhetorical analysis, the authors determine that many of the motives

of vaccine resistance today are rooted in the historical concerns for vaccine safety and efficacy.

In an effort to ease some of these concerns, Federman suggests improved vaccine education as a

public imperative in his perspective piece. He advocates that widely improving vaccine

understanding will improve public perception of immunization and promote vaccine acceptance.

Lack of vaccine education and acceptance is one reason that many vaccines are under-utilized.

One such vaccine is the influenza vaccine, which is one of the most complex and useful tools for

preventing the spread of influenza. In this issue, both Lawrence and Murphy examine the lack of

influenza vaccine coverage in at-risk populations, namely college students and pediatric asthma

patients, respectively. Both suggest a lack of understanding as a barrier to proper vaccine

acceptance. In an interview, pediatric infectious disease specialist Marietta Vázquez, MD,

describes her innovative work studying maternal immunity and indicates that a lack of vaccine

education is responsible for poor influenza vaccine acceptance among pregnant women.

Additionally, she provides insight into the future of the immunization field, highlighting the

pipeline of vaccines on the verge of approval.

Although the field of immunization is currently experiencing controversy, the future of vaccine

research is quite promising. In our final focus topic article, we sit down with Erol Fikrig, MD, to

discuss his successful career in microbial pathogenesis and the development of the first and only

GRADE 10
 FIRST PROGRESSIVE ACADEMY, INC.
vaccine to prevent Lyme disease. In addition to discussing his work, Dr. Fikrig also shares his

outlook on the prospect of the vaccine field, both from a research and public perspective, leaving

us with an optimistic vision for the future of immunization.

After the committee achieved consensus on vaccine development predictions (late summer

1985), preliminary unpublished results from certain ongoing studies came to their attention.

These results, if confirmed, may slightly alter the predictions on some vaccine candidates,

particularly on candidates targeted against the same pathogen relative to each other, e.g., as for

cholera and rotavirus. The committee did not conduct calculations based on the preliminary

information but believes it would not significantly alter the overall conclusions described above;

it recommends early reappraisal of candidate ranking as data from ongoing studies are publicly

reported.

Review of Related Literature

. Firstly, it showed that despite the variable rates of vaccine hesitancy across high-income

countries or regions, nearly half of studies reported vaccine hesitancy of 30% or more. Our

review discovered that only slightly more than half of the studies conducted on COVID-19

vaccine hesitancy conformed to the SAGE proposed definition. In those studies which did not

GRADE 10
 FIRST PROGRESSIVE ACADEMY, INC.
conform, participants who expressed being “unsure” instead of rejecting the vaccine were

excluded in the hesitancy rate, leading to a potential falsely reassuring low hesitancy rate.

Studies conducted among high income regions across four continents revealed a high

proportion of studies with high vaccine hesitancy mostly in Asia and North America. Countries

with the highest vaccine hesitancy rates included UAE, U.S., Hong Kong, and Italy. Compared

to low-income countries or regions, the current vaccine hesitancy rates in high income countries

or regions are worrisome.

The varying vaccine hesitancy rates across countries or regions are complex and may

partly be attributed to differences in ideological beliefs, demographics, and context specific

factors, as seen for other vaccinations. For example, vaccine hesitancy appears to have a lesser

impact on general vaccine uptake rates in lower-middle income countries or regions and affects

lower socioeconomic status individuals to a greater extent.The reasons have been linked to

disparities in access, cost, and awareness of vaccines. In contrast, individuals residing in more

affluent countries or regions tend to be more vaccine hesitant due to concerns related to the

safety of vaccines. This is especially so in the current choices of vaccines made with newer

technology which raised doubts and long term safety concerns.

The global vaccination census showed that the share of population fully vaccinated

against COVID-19 stood at 18.3% in high income countries or regions as of May 2021. Of note,

the proportions of population fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in U.S., Italy, Hong Kong, and

UAE were at 36%, 13.7%, 10%, and 38.8% as of May 2021 respectively, reflecting our review

GRADE 10
 FIRST PROGRESSIVE ACADEMY, INC.
results with only UAE bucking the trend. In spite of this, there were flattening of the epidemic

curves from February onwards in the U.S. and Israel after the commencement of vaccination

exercises, reinforcing the importance of vaccination.

The second point our study highlighted was to summarize determinants of COVID-19

vaccine hesitancy that were the frequently studied. Females, being younger, having a non-Whites

ethnicity and having a lower socioeconomic status (e.g., lower education or income levels) were

common demographics identified with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy.

Literature discussing higher vaccine hesitancy in females suggested the underlying

reasons attributable to lower perceived risk of COVID-19, higher beliefs in conspiracy related

theories about the pandemic compared to their male counterparts and concerns about safety of

vaccination in pregnancy and breastfeeding.

The association between younger individuals and COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy may be a

result of increased public health focus on vaccinating the elderly (due to their risk for severe

COVID-19 outcomes) and the lack of outreach on COVID-19 vaccination in social media

platforms which they commonly frequent.

With respect to ethnicity, Blacks have been shown to have increased mistrust in COVID-

19 vaccination with possible reasons due to racism, discrimination and mistreatment within the

healthcare systems. We should extrapolate and observe for similar associations to all at-risk

populations so that governments and healthcare professionals alike can assess and direct efforts

on improving COVID-19 vaccination uptake rates.

GRADE 10
 FIRST PROGRESSIVE ACADEMY, INC.

Our review also discovered that users of social media/internet as a primary source of

COVID-19 related information were more prone to increased vaccine hesitancy. With the advent

of infodemic on these non-traditional media platforms, innovations on ways to deliver accurate

and timely health information by traditional and non-traditional platforms have become

incredibly important. Employing active strategies such as pre-emptive cognitive inoculation

techniques and pre-bunking techniques have also been suggested to tackle misinformation. Clear

and honest communications form an important bridge between building public trust and

reinforcing positive health behaviors or compliance with COVID-19 vaccination.

In addition, the other determinants previously mentioned should also be systematically

addressed. While it is not within the scope of this review, the way different themes are being

measured such as knowledge about COVID-19 disease and vaccination, is an important area of

research impacting on the study of vaccine hesitancy across different populations. Our review

noted that most studies used self-designed instruments in the evaluation of COVID-19

vaccination knowledge which limits cross-comparison of knowledge levels across populations.

Future research should consider developing a standardized instrument for the assessment of

knowledge of COVID-19 vaccine and disease which can potentially be adapted for future

pandemics.

Hopefully, the summary of these determinants will allow policymakers at the national

level to deep dive into local context and conduct multi-pronged, multi-tiered studies coupled

with interventions to overcome vaccine hesitancy in high income countries.

GRADE 10
 FIRST PROGRESSIVE ACADEMY, INC.
With the ongoing vaccination drive globally and evolving landscape for COVID-19, it

remains premature to conclude the real-world impact of vaccine hesitancy on the true uptake of

COVID-19 vaccination. Uptake can be confounded by logistic and administrative challenges in

vaccine deployment, vaccine production capacity issues from manufacturers, affordability of

vaccines and global allocation of vaccines in the context of limited supplies. This was observed

in U.A.E. which had one of the highest percentages of population fully vaccinated for COVID-

19 (39.3%) globally in May 2021 despite a reported high vaccine hesitancy.In contrast, the

percentage of fully vaccinated population in Canada, which had the lowest vaccine hesitancy,

was only 3.3% in May 2021.

Nonetheless, vaccine hesitancy studies will continue to provide insights into possible

future directions to drive vaccination efforts. In planning vaccination programs, two

considerations related to COVID-19 vaccination are important moving forward. Firstly, if

COVID-19 vaccinations can stop transmissibility of COVID-19, at least 60–70% of population

needs to be vaccinated. Secondly, in the scenario where COVID-19 vaccines reduce only disease

severity but not transmissibility, identifying targeted groups for priority vaccination will become

the de facto strategy. Studying vaccine hesitancy across patient subgroups who have the highest

mortality and morbidity related to COVID-19 infection will be of paramount importance.

Several research gaps related to COVID-19 related vaccine hesitancy were identified in

this review. Currently, there are limited studies which have evaluated longitudinal changes in

COVID-19 related vaccine hesitancy. COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy may fluctuate or even

increase due to fatigue with lockdown and preventive measures, or secondary to increased

complacency coupled with reduced risk perceptions with a long duration of pandemic. Future

GRADE 10
 FIRST PROGRESSIVE ACADEMY, INC.
studies may want to consider evaluating the variation in vaccine hesitancy at different timepoints

in the COVID-19 pandemic, given its continued waves of outbreaks in different countries or

regions currently. There is also paucity of data related to COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among

pediatric groups as well as a lack of assessment of parental concerns of COVID-19 vaccinations

in children. As data from studies evaluating the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccination

among children emerges soon, it is an important research area to explore. In addition, this review

had noted a dismal number of qualitative studies on COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. Qualitative

studies often enable new themes to be identified which is important for comprehensiveness.

Albeit challenges abound in conducting qualitative research due to current climate of social

distancing measures and lockdowns, some recommended ways to overcome them include use of

digital text communications, video diaries and photovoice, where physical interaction can be

minimized.

This review is not without its limitations. Firstly, the determinants of vaccine hesitancy

listed in this review were factors identified from most studies which employed online surveys

predominantly. While this was inevitable given the lockdowns and travel restrictions imposed

during the COVID-19 pandemic, population groups with limited access to the internet such as

older adults, may not be comprehensively captured.

The findings from online studies may be influenced by self-selection bias, survey fraud,

and inability of respondents to seek clarity on questions. Among the included studies only a

small proportion of online survey studies reported their findings according to the CHERRIES

checklist of internet E-surveys. Future studies should consider adopting this checklist to enhance

the scientific rigor of their findings. Moreover, among the included studies, we had noticed a

GRADE 10
 FIRST PROGRESSIVE ACADEMY, INC.
significant number of studies not reporting the education level of participants recruited (n = 38;

39.2%, data available in Supplementary Table S2). A higher level of education in the participants

is associated with the possession of correct information on COVID-19 and less susceptibility to

misinformation.

Theoretical Framework

The researchers came up with the idea of using the concept of Berlo’s SMCR Model of

Communication and The Lasswell Formula combined to perceive the perception of the

METHOD
This chapter will present the methodology of the study by which the researchers activities

were undertaken. This will include the research design, respondents of the study, the research

instruments, data gathering procedure and statistical treatment of data.

Research Design

The study to be used is Descriptive Method in order to describe the nature of a study

through survey questionnaires, in order to gather accurate information about the topic that the

researchers investigated, it also describes the effects of the study to the Vaccination to the

Selected Citizens of Saint Martha, Basilio Street Phase Deca Homes.

According to Polit and Hungler (1999), Descriptive method describes what exist and can

uncover new facts and meanings. The purpose of this design is to observe, describe, and

document aspects of a situation as it naturally occurs.

GRADE 10
 FIRST PROGRESSIVE ACADEMY, INC.
In order to fulfil the objectives of this study, the researchers used the quantitative method.

Quantitative methods emphasize objective measurements and the statistical, mathematical, or

numerical analysis of data collected through polls, questionnaires, and surveys, or by

manipulating pre-existing statistical data using computational techniques. Quantitative research

focuses on gathering numerical data and generalizing it across groups of people or to explain a

particular phenomenon (Babbie & Mujis, 2010). This design is an excellent way of finalizing

results and proving or disproving a hypothesis (Shuttleworth, 2008).

Respondents of the Study and Sampling Technique

The respondents were Vaccination to the Selected Citizens of Saint Martha, Basilio Street

Phase Deca Homes.. The respondents were selected through survey questioning that determined

their perception about the effectiveness of Vaccine. The respondents were chosen by using

random sampling technique.

Research Instruments

The researcher considered survey questionnaire in checklist form as the right instrument

for gathering data for the study. It was prepared for the purpose of collecting, classifying, and

interpreting information. The questionnaires were designed based on the statement of the

problem that the researchers have formulated. It was used in the study in order to obtain the

profile of the participants and to find if some of the people you know are already vaccinated. The

survey type of getting the data helped the researchers to justify the objectives of the study. These

enabled the researcher to have pertinent data.

DISCUSSIONS
This chapter presents conclusion and recommendation with connection to the objective of

the study.

Conclusions

The following are the conclusions drawn from the study:

For table 1.1, the results imply that most of the respondents are 15-19 years old because

the population used by the researchers are mostly 15-19 years old for having a covid-19 vaccine.

Results for table 1.2 implies that there are equal number of respondents in both male and

female.

The table 2.1 presents the influence of the family on the children’s having covid-19

vaccine.. The family aspects include both the nuclear family members which comprise the father,

mother and other siblings. The extended family members were also considered. These include

aunts, uncles, grandparents and other related family members. Table 2.1 how family members

GRADE 10
 FIRST PROGRESSIVE ACADEMY, INC.
influence children for having a covid-19 vaccine, it shows ratios where parents were quite

influential to their children’s career.

Based on the study of Kahnert, Schaller, and Pötschke-Langer (2013), Graphic Health

Warnings capture attention, educate effectively about the health threats of smoking and make

smoking unattractive.

Criminology Students are neutral as presented on table 2.2, whether to continue the vice

or not. At first, the respondents agreed that they can have the covie -19 vaccine researchers

reversed the question, the result shows that they are not yet ready to give up the vice.

According to Liuk (2006) population of smokers is increasingly composed of individuals

with low needs for cognition. It is more likely that these individuals will attempt to control their

fear rather than processing the warning and seeking to control the warning. Thus, even if the

Vaccines might increase the people for having the covie-19 vaccine feelings of vulnerability to

the danger, defensive processing of the warning served to negate that sense of personal

vulnerability.

Most of the st.martha respondents agreed as resulted in table 2.3, that Graphic Health

Warnings will promote healthy lifestyle with the highest mean of 4.34. The statement

“Respondents’ Level of Awareness to Immunity of Covid-19 vaccine.” got the lowest weighted

citizen of st.martha, were limited to the average to 15-19 years old. The technicalities and

implementation of the law were not covered in this study but only the perception of the

respondents regarding the covid-19 vaccine.

Recommendation

The following are the recommendations suggested by the researchers of this study:

1. The researchers recommend to add another demographic profile that will help future

studies such as:

a. Social status

b. Religion

c. Personality

2. The Department of Health should focus on Self-Efficacy Belief because based on the

findings, the respondents were ready for having the covid-19 vaccine.. DOH should

create a campaign that directly teaches the smokers on how to reduce their usage and

eventually, how to stop.

3. Have disclaimers in every end of the movies which contains smoking scenes to serve as a

warning that the provided scenes should not be tolerated.

4. Department of Health should provide seminars in every barangay and schools for

everyone especially the youth to be educated about what they are being curious about so

that it could be avoided.

5. Parents should have educational savings for their children’s future education.

REFERENCES

Now that COVID-19 vaccines have reached billions of people worldwide, the evidence is

overwhelming that no matter which one you take, the vaccines offer life-saving

protection against a disease that has killed millions. The pandemic is far from over, and

they are our best bet of staying safe.

There are several COVID-19 vaccines validated for use by WHO (given Emergency Use

Listing). The first mass vaccination programme started in early December 2020 and the

number of vaccination doses administered is updated on a daily basis on the COVID-19

dashboard.

The WHO Emergency Use Listing process determines whether a product can be

recommended for use based on all the available data on safety and efficacy and on its

suitability in low- and middle-income countries. Vaccines are assessed to ensure they

meet acceptable standards of quality, safety and efficacy using clinical trial data,

manufacturing and quality control processes. The assessment weighs the threat posed by

the emergency as well as the benefit that would accrue from the use of the product

against any potential risks.

GRADE 10
 FIRST PROGRESSIVE ACADEMY, INC.

In line with their national regulations and legislation, countries have the autonomy to

issue emergency use authorizations for any health product. Domestic emergency use

authorizations are issued at the discretion of countries and not subject to WHO approval.

Getting vaccinated could save your life. COVID-19 vaccines provide strong protection

against serious illness, hospitalization and death. There is also some evidence that being

vaccinated will make it less likely that you will pass the virus on to others, which means

your decision to get the vaccine also protects those around you.

Even after getting vaccinated, keep taking precautions to protect yourself, family, friends

and anyone else you may come into contact with. COVID-19 vaccines are highly

effective, but some people will still get ill from COVID-19 after vaccination. There is

also still a chance that you could also pass the virus on to others who are not vaccinated.

Stay at least 1 metre away from other people, wear a properly fitted mask over your nose

and mouth when you can’t keep this distance, avoid poorly ventilated places and settings,

clean your hands frequently, stay home if unwell and get tested, and stay informed about

how much virus is circulating in the areas where you travel, live and work.

After publication of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) genetic

sequence on January 11, 2020, research and collaboration among scientists and

biopharmaceutical manufacturers quickly followed.

Various methods are used for vaccine discovery and manufacturing. [1] As of May 15,

2022, The New York Times Coronavirus Vaccine Tracker lists 2 mRNA vaccines

(Comirnaty by Pfizer and Spikevax by Moderna) that have gained full approval by the

US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered

coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses which may cause

illness in animals or humans. In humans, several coronaviruses are known to cause

respiratory infections ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome

(SARS), and the most recent coronavirus disease COVID-19. WHO Director-General

declared that the outbreak constitutes a Public Health Emergency of International

Concern (PHEIC) on 30 January 2020 and a Pandemic on 11 March 2020.
