CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING
Introduction
Vaccine has played a major role of humans during the catastrophes of mild to
severe cases of Influenza and viruses. This virus was associated with the occurrence of
a cluster of cases of pneumonia in Wuhan, a city in China's Hubei Province. It spread
exponentially, leading to an outbreak across China, followed by a global pandemic.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO, 2020), declared this disease as
COVID-19 in February 2020, which stands for coronavirus disease 2019. Severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is named the virus that causes
COVID-19; previously, it was referred to as 2019-nCoV.
In other aspects, this has become a major struggle to the other parts of the world.
Countries have been challenged with the lack of resources and capability to no clear
antiviral treatment in Covid-19. Vaccines against COVID-19 are considered to be crucial
and has a great significance for the prevention and control of COVID-19, since
immunization is one of the most active and cost-effective health measures to prevent
infectious diseases (Lurie, 2020). Countries around the world are seeking to accelerate
the research and production of COVID-19 vaccines, and more than 160 candidate
vaccines have been identified to date, with around 20 candidates in the clinical
evaluation process. Although great progress has been made, important problems
remain with respect to potential immunization against COVID-19, one of which is the
confusion surrounding the public acceptance of vaccination against COVID-19
(Ngunyen, 2019).
The acceptance of vaccines represents the overall understanding within the
general population of disease risk, vaccine attitudes and demand, which is crucial for
the effectiveness of immunization programs to achieve high vaccination coverage rates,
especially for newly emerging diseases.
This study aims to evaluate the acceptance of future COVID-19 vaccination, the
preference for vaccine attributes and vaccination schedules, as well as the influencing
factors on vaccination acceptance among the residents in Barangay Bibincahan. This
information is critical to do well preparedness for future vaccination strategies and
immunization programs against COVID-19.
Statement of the Problem
The World Health Organization (WHO) is cautiously optimistic that they will
successfully produce safe and reliable vaccines for COVID-19. Potential vaccines are
under development in a robust pipeline, although some have already progressed to
broad (phase III) clinical trials based on the promising early results. If the organizations
and the government find the vaccines convenient, some say otherwise. There is always
an underlying hesitancy, and the trust issue is paramount which will be very challenging
to overcome. Vaccines have been found safe and approved by health authorities in
many countries. At the same time, there are number of individuals who are feeling
conflicted as while they want to protect themselves against the infection, they often fear
possible side effects from the vaccination. They have concerns as to whether,
considering the quick pace of production, the vaccines are actually safe and whether
potential side effects have been sufficiently studied.
Research Questions
1. Do you think getting vaccinated will be effective to completely prevent you from
Covid-19?
2. How likely are you to get vaccinated for coronavirus once a vaccine is available to the
public?
3. Do you believe in the risks and side effects of Covid-19?
4. Do you think that getting vaccinated will make you immune from the disease?
5. Do you trust vaccines that have been developed so quickly?
Scope and Delimitation
This study limits its coverage on the residents of Barangay Bibincahan only. The
focus of this study is to identify the residents’ degree of acceptance of the government’s
vaccination program and to become aware about their certainty of getting vaccinated.
The following aspects to be considered are their name, age, occupation, home location,
health status and family status. Each of the respondents are given same questionnaires
to answer.
Significance of the Study
These are the following groups who are significant for the result of this research.
Residents. They will contribute this study through their answers on the vaccination
program of the Philippine Government.
Barangay Officials. It serves as the way to apprise the residents’ decision on taking a
vaccination program to determine if they are willing or not.
Parents. This research will enable them to have knowledge relevant to the vaccine.
Other barangays. This study will help them to have information associated with the
vaccine.
Students. This research would help them gain insight into the acceptance of Barangay
Bibincahan for vaccination.
Future researchers. This will serve as their basis and background for those who are
interested in this study for their future research.
