Abstract
The objective of the study is to determine the different perception with regards to the
ongoing covid-19 vaccination in the country, to the affected individuals of the covid-19 crisis,
to the senior high school students and parents of University of San Carlos - South Campus.
This study will be a quantitative research, backed with the utilization of data analysis
collected through non-experimental and quantitative and qualitative descriptive surveys. The
respondents of this study are the senior high school students and parents of University of San
Carlos - South Carlos, specifically students from the Humanities and Social Sciences
(HUMSS), Accountancy, Business, Management (ABM), and Arts & Design (A&D) from the
Grade 12 level and their parents. The researchers will disseminate their questionnaire to its
respondents, to the 85 parents and 100 students of USC-SC. The results showed that the
perceptions of the respondents were hesitant when it comes to the covid-19 vaccination and
its possible effects after taking the shot. But when it comes to the continuity of online classes,
the gathered data from the respondents’ shows that they will be continuing the current
method of learning if ever they get to be vaccinated.
Covid-19. In the year 2019, the world was shocked as a new strain of virus
was detected in the province of Wuhan China. The China Health Authority informed
the World Health Organization (WHO) regarding the presence of unknown cases of
pneumonia in Wuhan China on December 31, 2019. According to the World Health
Organization (WHO), coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease
caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. The virus is mainly transmitted through
droplets by an infected person through coughing and sneezing. Months later, on
January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the Coronavirus Disease
2019 (COVID-19) as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern or PHEIC
and on March 11, 2020, the COVID-19 was indicated as a pandemic.
Here in the Philippines setting, the same date as the COVID 19 pandemic was
declared as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern or PHEIC, the
Department of Health (DOH) announced and confirmed its first COVID-19 positive
case in the country, a 38-year-old female Chinese patient under investigation (PUI).
Furthermore, President Rodrigo Duterte implemented a travel ban and an enhanced
community quarantine that made the whole Philippines in a nationwide lockdown
situation. During the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ), a limited number of
people are allowed to go out. Only the medical personnel, government workers and
other frontliners. The government also advised people to stay and work from home
and make use of the technology in business matters to avoid social gatherings.
Classes also were temporarily suspended in all levels.
As the virus spread rapidly around the world, people were frightened for
themselves and for their family and loved ones. The virus affected the lives of people
especially those who are in the lower section. According to Sheila Coronel (2020)
from the Interpreter, the poor cannot afford to buy food and clothes for themselves,
how much more for the health essentials, which is very important during this
pandemic. Fortunately, the government at that time took their actions by giving ayuda
or help to the Filipinos especially those who are mostly in need and the government
also made a move by distributing the military and the police troops in every part of
the country to heavily guard the borders of each places and as well as those people
who will try to disobey the safety precautionary rules made by the government.
According to UNESCO, the COVID 19 gives a huge impact to the 1.5 billion
students nationwide. This pandemic is the reason why the students stopped their
education for almost half a year. Countries all over the world implemented programs
for education in avoiding the spreading of the virus, but now the students are back on
track again in their education using online-learning and modules. This new-normal
era made it more difficult for the students since there will be no personal teacher to
guide them and also the students are still new at this online-learning environment.
Covid-19 Vaccination. WHO (2020) stated that vaccination is a way or a
simple process wherein people may be guarded to avoid diseases or any infections
that can be harmful to the human body. Receiving vaccination is not only protecting
one’s body, but it also protects the people that surround it. Meanwhile, vaccines are
the tool that will be used so that the vaccination will happen. Commonly, vaccines are
in a form of injections and sprays that could be used for the mouth or sprayed to the
nose. At this time, there are at least over 20 vaccines that can protect the people.
As the CoViD-19 pandemic has been present today, health professionals have
been working on the vaccine. This also has been creating a huge burden to the
societies and the economies worldwide. As stated by the WHO (2015), the Strategic
Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization have been saying that there will be a lot
of hesitance by defining the acceptance and refusal even though there is an
availability of vaccination services. However, a lot of people have been asking if
vaccines for this virus exist. As of this time, there are already vaccines for the
coronavirus. In December 2020 (WHO), the first mass vaccination programme
started. In total, until the last update on the 15th day of February 2021, 175.3 million
vaccine doses have been regulated. In addition, there are at least 7 types of vaccines
that have been distributed from the aforementioned number.
Vaccination Perception. Although COVID-19 Vaccinations have already
started, due to the fact that COVID-19 vaccines are still under development,
information about the risk and safety of taking the vaccine is limited. Therefore, it is
questionable whether the general public held a positive or negative view on taking the
vaccine itself.
Vaccination Hesitancy. The new subject of vaccine hesitancy addresses
perhaps the most relevant issues in public health and alludes to the postponements in
acceptance or refusal of vaccines regardless of accessibility of inoculation services.
According to SAGE Working Group on vaccination hesitancy, it is ‘complex and
context specific’ varying across time, place, and immunizations. It is affected by
factors like complacency, comfort and certainty. The Vaccine Hesitancy
Determinants Matrix shows the components affecting the behavioral choice to
acknowledge or accept, delay or reject a few or all vaccines under three classes:
contextual, individual and group, and immunization/inoculation-specific influences.
A study was done in the United States (Khubchandani, 2021) which showed a
negative aspect of the covid-19 vaccination hesitancy. 22% of them or almost a fifth
of them were 22% of them were hesitant to take the covid-19 vaccines if there is
availability. In addition, using demographic profiles such as sex, race, ethnicity,
education, income, employment status, and place of residence, the hesitancy answers
varied using these profile.
Perception of Covid-19 Vaccine. The occurrence of the pandemic has greatly
affected a lot of sectors in the society. One of these are the health professionals who
are working hard for the vaccine.
In the global survey by Lazarus et al (2020) which compromised 19 countries
with around 55% of the international population. The Chinese respondents gave the
highest proportion of positive responses with 88.6% from the total of 712
respondents. It has also been stated in the study that countries like Brazil, India, and
South Africa have a very high possibility to have a positive response about the
vaccine as observed by the researchers.
 A study by Biasio et al (2020) was conducted and it resulted that the people
who answered their online survey mostly gave a positive response regarding the
vaccine and basing from table 4 where it presented 80% to 90% as affirmative except
one question. Furthermore, there are about 40% of the respondents that claimed that
they have received vaccination for influenza from the previous year.
Also, Seale et al (2021) also supervised a study to the Australian public
regarding the vaccine where it presented a positive response about the vaccine from
the public. It showed 80% of the respondents to agree to have injected with the
CoVid-19 vaccine. Additionally, females were more likely to agree with the idea than
the male respondents.
Even though there are a lot of positive reactions with regard to the vaccine
there are still people who are having a negative reaction. Going back to Lazarus et al
(2020) research, the results have also presented that most of the Polish respondents
with negative responses have the highest proportion of responses with the percentage
of 27.3% out of 668 respondents. Also, the Russian respondents also had the lowest
number of proportions regarding the positive responses about the vaccine with the
percentage of 54.9% out of 680 respondents.
In the Philippine setting, an article by Sabillo (2021) stated that in the OCTA
survey, only 1 in 4 Filipinos or only 25% of the respondents (CNN Philippines Staff,
2021) who lived in Metro Manila were willing to take the vaccine. Moreover, in the
national aspect, 46% of the Filipino adults are still not willing. The data also
presented that 35% of the respondents answered “undecided” with regard to the
vaccine (Tomacruz, 2021).
Willingness of the Continuity of Online Classes. The CoVid-19 not only
created an impact to the sectors of the society but also to the way or mode of learning
of the students. This type of learning or methods of learning can also be called
“distance learning”. These include modular learning, online learning, and blended
learning.
In a research survey that was answered by 128 students by O’Malley entitled
resulted that Online Learning and Distance Learning should be deemed to go through
a separate analysis since students do not perceive that OL and DL are similar. Upon
the separate analysis of the two learnings, according to the datas received by the
researchers from the answers of the majority of the students that took part with the
survey shows that, the students have negative beliefs or perception about the online
class learning, thus affecting their willingness to continue the online classes term.
In contrast with the results of the study stated above, in the prior paragraph,
this study (2020) acquired results contrasting with the results found in the other
research. Positive results from the datas gathered shows how the respondents (parents
and family of the learner) in this research have a positive perception regarding the
online class method in continuing the learning of students throughout the pandemic.
In the study, the families’ role as a supporting instrument for their students was seen,
addressing the possible factors that online class could give effect to the students.
Parents and families were encouraged to find ways to help cope with the online
learning among their learners, thus increasing the productive time and improving the
students’ performance in online learning. With these findings, the positive effect of
addressing concerns regarding online classes made a toll with the perception of the
students in regards to the new method of learning.
In contrast with the negative statements above, Muthuprasad’s (2021) study
showed that the pandemic has influenced the mode of learning with a positive
attitude. It was found out that the students were at an advantage since it became
convenient with the students and also flexible. They are much in favor of watching
videos that are being recorded from the university websites. Together with this, the
study stated that there is also a need for sessions that are interactive that have quizzes
and assignments after every class to make the whole session effective.
In a study managed by Koirala et al (2020), it discussed the perceptions of
students towards online classes during the covid-19 crisis. Based on the results on the
data gathered by the researchers of the respondents taking part in this study, it shows
half of the respondents have a negative perception about the online class and
continuing this method of learning, however the other half of the respondents don’t
have any other choice but to continue with this method of learning since this method,
real-time online class, is the only way to sustain the learning for students; the
education needed by students that was limited due to the current crisis.
Despite the other literature showing a negative response to the continuity of
online classes, a study entitled “Challenges to Online Medical Education During the
Covid-19 Pandemic” by Rajab et al (2020) resulted in a positive impact towards the
online classes. The Alfaisal University had challenges such as communication,
student assessment, use of technology tools, online experience, pandemic-related
anxiety or stress, time management, and technophobia but due to the online classes,
the beginning of the classes made them level up their confidence.
Theoretical Background. This study is anchored on the Self-Perception
Theory of Daryl Bem (1967) and the Theory of Reasoned Action developed by
Martin Fishbein and Icek Ajzen (1975). Daryl Bem’s self-perception theory centers
around how a person assesses their own attitude and behavior that will influence their
perception and preferences. It is about the assessment of the external cues or the
behavior the one’s self is showing that will provide assistance in order to understand
how one’s self is feeling, the condition that one’s self is in, or the attitude of one’s
self. People, usually assess other’s behavior and attitude for them to attribute it with a
person’s personality or the emotion that that someone is feeling, such as seeing
someone with a scowling face can attribute to being angry or having a fowl mood, but
with the Self-Perception Theory, the individual instead observes and analyzes its own
behavior first that will then help them determine what really is their attitude, the same
method as to how an individual analyze an attitude of another person.
Correspondingly, the senior high school students' and parents’ perceptions
about the CoViD-19 vaccination may have been influenced by how they assess and
analyze their own behavior and what they attribute it to. The students may have
assessed that their attitudes and interests upon the ongoing vaccination for CoViD-19
may have hesitancy among the idea of having this action. Upon hearing the news
about the vaccination, and information regarding it, the students’ external action may
have shown signs of hesitancy or agreement with the vaccination announcement, that
lets them understand the attitude or their behavior, and will then influence their
preference and perception concerning the current vaccination happenings.
As for the Theory of Reasoned Action of Martin Fishbien and Icek Ajzen, this
study aims to explain that the outcomes of behavioral intentions of a person is based
from, either: a person’s own attitude or one's personal norm. The purpose of the
theory of reasoned action is to understand a person’s volitional behavior by assessing
the factors or the primary motivations of a person that influences the performed
action of a person in a situation. The factors of a person’s volitional behavior doesn’t
stop the subjective norm and the person's attitude, but these factors also include or
links between beliefs, the intentions, and personal preferences of an individual. This
theory recognizes that some circumstances (or factors) can restrict the influence of the
attitude on behavior.
In relation to this theory with the study, the perception and opinion of the
senior high school students and the senior high school parents regarding the
vaccination for CoViD-19 pandemic here in the Philippines will serve as the
volitional action, or the outcome over the series of factors that the student have taken
credit for. The view of the students and parents regarding the idea of vaccination may
have contradictions or may correspond with their own opinion about the issue. Belief
in contradicting vaccination due to uncertain risk that the body might go through
during the session may be present with the perception of the students and parents, or
ideas of preferences such as taking a shot of vaccination will lengthen the healthy
body state of the person, that will then be a factor upon the possible outcome. Either
of the two situations will possibly be the factors upon the volitional action or behavior
of the students and parents regarding the topic.
 With the theories’ views, the researchers aim to describe the perception of the
Senior High School students and parents in the University of San Carlos - South
Campus regarding their hesitancy of the covid-19 vaccine, and as well as their
willingness with reagrds to the continuation of the online class learning method every
the respondents get to be vaccinated. The framework will determine if all the
aforementioned has greatly affected the senior high school students’ perception of the
vaccine . Not only that, this will also serve as a guide for the research.
Figure 1 presents the conceptual framework of the study.

Objectives of the Problem:

The main aim of this study is to describe the perceptions of the Senior High
School students and Parents of University of San Carlos - South Campus about the
ongoing CoViD-19 vaccination in the Philippines.
Specifically, this study seeks to answer the following questions:
1. What is the extent of the perceptions in terms of the hesitancy of the covid 19
vaccine:
1.1 Senior High School Students
1.2 Parents
2. What is the percentage of the willingness to continue the online classes despite
being shot by the covid-19 vaccine among:
2.1 Senior High School Students
2.2 Parents
3. How do Covid-19 and Covid-19 Vaccine perceived by:
3.1 Senior High School Students
3.2 Parents
4. What possible interventions/proposed actions/recommendations can be done based
on the findings of the study?
The researchers assume that the senior high school students and parents of the
University of San Carlos have hesitation upon the choice of whether to take the
covid-19 vaccine or not that is based on lack of information on the risks and safety
regarding the vaccine, and respondents will show willingness with regards to the
continuation of online classes if ever they to be vaccinated.
The study focuses on the perception of Senior High School students and the
Parents in the University of San Carlos about the COVID-19 vaccination, on whether
they will agree to be vaccinated or they will not agree to be vaccinated. Also, their
willingness to continue the online class method if the said respondents will get to be
vaccinated by the ongoing covid-19 vaccination. The research secured 100
respondents, Senior High School students and 85 respondents for the Parents from
University of San Carlos - South Campus, in a total of 185 respondents secured. The
outcome of the study will have significant contribution to the students, the people

Methodology:
Design. This study will be a quantitative research to assess the perception of
the senior high students and parents about the vaccination of the virus COVID-19.
This research will be using data analysis collected through non-experimental and
quantitative and qualitative descriptive surveys which the questionnaire will be
distributed to the senior high students and parents of the University of San Carlos-
South Campus through google forms. The survey or the research itself tries to
describe, analyze and interpret the status of the respondents. Descriptive survey
accumulates information about varying subjects.
Environment. The researchers will conduct this study inside the campus of
the University of San Carlos South School and will allocate the questionnaire to the
three different strands in this school through a google form website.
Respondents. The respondents of this study will be the senior high school
students and parents of the University of San Carlos specifically, the Humanities and
Social Sciences students (HUMSS), Accounting, Business and Management students
(ABM), and Arts & Design students (A&D). The researchers will disseminate the
questionnaires to 85 parents and 100 students, both grade 11 and 12 from the three
different strands; HUMSS, ABM, and in the A & D department through the use of
google forms.

Validity. In order for this research to check its validity, it shall pass through
the face and content validity by letting the respective statistics teacher, who is also a
research teacher, check the survey instrument to confirm the validation of the
proposed study.
Reliability. Cronbach’s alpha is a measure of internal consistency, that is, how
firmly related a lot of things are as a group. It is viewed as a measure of scale
dependability that a high value for alpha doesn't suggest that the measure is
unidimensional. On the off chance that, measuring internal consistency, you wish to
give proof that the scale being referred to is checking dimensionality. Cronbach’s
alpha is used in the pilot testing to ensure the reliability and credibility of the
questionnaires. The researchers must get a score of 0.7 and above to ensure that the
questionnaires are indeed reliable and credible.
Data Analysis. The following parametric treatments are used to analyze and
interpret the data gathered. Simple Percentage is used to determine the demographic
profile of the respondents in terms of gender, age, and strand level. Simple mean and
standard deviation, and percentage were utilized in analyzing and assessing the
perception of senior high school students and parents of the University of San Carlos
about the CoViD-19 vaccination. A descriptive survey is applied.
Data Gathering Procedures. The respondents who are mentally and
physically capable and that enthusiastically support through participation after the
clear clarification of the advantages of this study to them. They are given transmittal
letters that clarify plainly and basically the reason for the study and the procedure of
how their own data and information gathered would be taken care of with the utmost
extreme consideration. All throughout the procedure the respondents won't be
exposed to as little or none to dangers and risks. The letter of the principal would be
shown in the study before the researchers conducted a survey to the senior high
school students and parents of the University of San Carlos in order to continue
conducting the research.
Procedures. The purpose of this study is to assess and analyze the perception
of the senior high school students of the University of San Carlos-South Campus. The
data collection method used secondary data. The secondary data were taken from
online databases. The researchers gathered the data through the usage of descriptive
adapted and dichotomous survey questionnaires that helped answer and assess the
perception of the respondents regarding the Covid-19 vaccine. Google forms will be
used during the process of distributing the survey questionnaires to the respondents.
Technology Application. The researchers made use of the Microsoft Excel for
tallying and tabulating the data gathered to form a clear and accurate analysis.
Ethical Considerations. In conducting this study, the researchers will make
sure that the respondents chosen will take interest during the study and will not be
held against their decision by the researchers and will be given intensive clarification
about how the investigation will be good for them. The researchers will provide
informed consents through an introductory letter that will clarify that during the
research, the privacy of the data gathered will be kept . Datas should not be imported
to outsiders nor with individuals known to members except if allowed to do so by the
respondent. Data gathered will involve only the researchers and the respondent
themselves. Informed consents will be given on the first encounter of the researchers
and the respondents, composed through an introductory letter. An intensive
clarification will also be provided by the researchers about the scope of the study. The
informed consents will contain all of the data needed for the respondents to know
about. Respondents should not fall under the class of a defenseless populace , for
example (1) children, (2) Mentally or emotionally disabled people, (3) Severely ill or
physically disabled people. Total honesty will be done in selecting parties for the
information assortment of the study, the option to decline to take an interest in the
study will be disclosed to them, and that if choices will somehow happen to emerge

The table shown above are the results of the Grade 11 students of the
University of San Carlos-South Campus. The table shows that the respondents have
an average level of hesitancy about the CoViD-19 vaccination.
Consequently, most of the grade 11 students were still hesitant about the
CoViD-19 vaccination. This suggests that the respondents are not sure of getting
inoculated.

supposed to have a lot of trials, experiments, and tests before releasing them to the
public. However, today, the vaccines available for COVID, for me, didn't go through
the usual process of testing which makes me believe that it is not safe.”
Hence, this feedback from the students would show that the respondents were
still having suspicions and uncertainty about being inoculated.

Recommendations
As stated on the findings and the conclusion of the researcher in consideration
of the study on the Perception of Senior High School Students and Parents of the
University of San Carlos- South Campus about the CoViD-19 Vaccination, these are
the various recommendations to be considered:
● The researchers recommend a program intervention entitled “Ready Set
Vaccine and Swab Shuttle Express” to reach out to people and help them be
aware and get the health benefits from the government without worrying
about too much expenses and also the distance from the hospital. The program
aims to help the healthcare system in combating the Covid-19 pandemic. The
program provides disinfection, swab tests, vaccination, and regular check ups
for the people.
● It is thereby suggested that the future researchers will apply this study in their
research and will use this study as their guide and references.
● Schools and other universities shall use this as their source to be well-
informed to the perception of the students and parents about the CoVid-19
vaccination and their willingness to continue online class despite being
vaccinated.
● To the government to use this as their insights to know the impression of the
public towards the CoVid-19 vaccination. The government shall also use this
as their guide to know what they should execute to improve the perceptions of
the public towards the vaccination.
● The government shall use this as their way of encouragement to the public so
that the public will not hesitate to be vaccinated.
● To the public as their references to know the perception of some civilians
about their opinions towards the CoVid-19 vaccination. Perhaps with this
study, it can enlighten the minds of the public towards their opinion in the
vaccination.
