CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
Safety is one of the most important thing nowadays, We all know that we are
facing a global pandemic. Since we are in a new normal, vaccines against Covid-19 are
being tested and most of it are found effective in reducing the risk of transmission of the
virus. Various companies have been going through different trials in order to produce the
highest percentage of efficacy of the vaccine. Reduction of the risk of transmission of
Covid - 19 virus is not merely dependent on vaccine efficacy and safety. Wearing mask
and practicing social distancing also helps in reducing the risk of having the virus.
Immune system protects the body from outside invaders, such as bacteria, viruses,
fungi, and toxins (chemicals produced by microbes). It is made up of different organs,
cells, and proteins that work together. Eating fruit and vegetables rich in Vitamin C also
helps strengthen immune system to fight such virus and bacteria that can transmitted to
us. Maintaining a healthy diet , daily exercise , drinking plent of water and staying away
from vices are the major activities we can do in order to maintain our healthy immune
system.
According to a survey conducted by Pulse Asia last 2021, nearly half of
Filipinos said that they would not get vaccinated against COVID-19 due to safety
concerns. With the help if different sectors , a proposed solution would be a Multisectoral
Approach (MSA). MSA refers to the deliberate collaboration among various stakeholder
groups (e.g. government, civil society and private and religious sectors) and sectors (e.g.
health, environment and economy) to achieve a policy outcome. By engaging multiple

sectors, such as interfaith collaborations, governments can leverage knowledge, expertise,
reach and resources, benefiting from their combined and varied strengths as they work
toward the shared goal of building public trust on vaccines.
As stated by Malik Sallam(2021), Vaccine acceptance among the general public
and healthcare workers appears to have a decisive role in the successful control of the
pandemic. To urge people to get vaccinated, we need examples like frontliners, as well as
government leaders, so that the public trusts them and has no hesitations about getting
vaccinated. LGU’s have conducted “ResBakuna” programs , giving free vaccinations to
people prioritizing the elderly and the one with comorbidities to reduce having the issue
of misuse of budgets of the government.
The researchers’ intentions in conducting this study is to gain a deep
understanding on the different perspective of selected barangay officials on Covid-19
vaccine. The researchers also opted to explore the ideas and perspective of selected
barangay officials and their experiences on being vaccinated and their stand on different
types of vaccines.
This study aims to seek the different experiences selected barangay officials
during vaccination and their comments . With this, the researchers will gain deeper
understanding and provide an explicit interpretation of the structure, sequence, and
comprehensive patterns unearthed among group of participants.

CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF THE RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
This chapter presents the relevant literatures and studies that the researcher
considered in strengthening the importance of the present study. It also presents the
synthesis to fully understand the research for better comprehension of the study.
Related Literatures
As stated by M. Sallam(2021)Utility of vaccine campaigns to control coronavirus
2019 disease (COVID-19) is not merely dependent on vaccine efficacy and safety.
Vaccine acceptance among the general public and healthcare workers appears to have a
decisive role in the successful control of the pandemic. The aim of this review was to
provide an up-to-date assessment of COVID-19 vaccination acceptance rates worldwide.
A systematic search of the peer-reviewed English survey literature indexed in
PubMed was done on 25 December 2020. Results from 31 peer-reviewed published
studies met the inclusion criteria and formed the basis for the final COVID-19 vaccine
acceptance estimates. Survey studies on COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rates were found
from 33 different countries. Among adults representing the general public, the highest
COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rates were found in Ecuador (97.0%), Malaysia (94.3%),
Indonesia (93.3%) and China (91.3%). However, the lowest COVID-19 vaccine
acceptance rates were found in Kuwait (23.6%), Jordan (28.4%), Italy (53.7), Russia
(54.9%), Poland (56.3%), US (56.9%), and France (58.9%). Only eight surveys among
healthcare workers (doctors and nurses) were found, with vaccine acceptance rates
ranging from 27.7% in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to 78.1% in Israel.
7
Dr. Ramon De Santos National High School
San Antonio, Cuyapo, Nueva Ecija
In the majority of survey studies among the general public stratified per country
(29/47, 62%), the acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination showed a level of ≥70%. Low
rates of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance were reported in the Middle East, Russia, Africa
and several European countries. This could represent a major problem in the global
efforts to control the current COVID-19 pandemic. More studies are recommended to
address the scope of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. Such studies are particularly needed
in the Middle East and North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Eastern Europe, Central Asia,
Middle and South America. Addressing the scope of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in
various countries is recommended as an initial step for building trust in COVID-19
vaccination efforts.
According to Public Health Journal,As COVID-19 cases rise in one of Southeast
Asia’s worst-hit nations, low public trust in vaccines will be a huge block in the
government’s vaccination program. In a recent survey in January 2021 which was
conducted by Pulse Asia, nearly half of Filipinos said that they would not get vaccinated
against COVID-19 due to safety concerns. A proposed solution would be a Multisectoral
Approach (MSA). MSA refers to the deliberate collaboration among various stakeholder
groups (e.g. government, civil society and private and religious sectors) and sectors (e.g.
health, environment and economy) to achieve a policy outcome. By engaging multiple
sectors, such as interfaith collaborations, governments can leverage knowledge, expertise,
reach and resources, benefiting from their combined and varied strengths as they work
toward the shared goal of building public trust on vaccines.

Related Studies
According to the study of Mannan and Farhana (2020) results revealed that twothirds of respondents were at least moderately worried about a widespread COVID-19
outbreak. Differences in acceptance rates ranged from almost 93% (in Tonga) to less than
43% (in Egypt). Respondents reporting higher levels of trust in information from
government sources were more likely to accept a vaccine and take their employer’s
advice to do so. Systematic interventions are required by public health authorities to
reduce the levels of vaccines’ hesitancy and improve their acceptance. These results and
specifically the low rate of acceptability is alarming to public health authorities and
should stir further studies on the root causes and the need of awareness campaigns. These
interventions should take the form of reviving the trust in national health authorities and
structured awareness campaigns that offer transparent information about the safety and
efficacy of the vaccines and the technology that was utilized in their production.
According to the study of Seale et.al. (2021) about public perceptions and
behaviors towards Covid-19 vaccines. Respondents generally held positive views towards
vaccination. Eighty percent (n = 1143) agreed with the statement that getting myself
vaccinated for COVID-19 would be a good way to protect myself against infection.
Females (n = 614, 83%) were more likely to agree with the statement than males (n = 529,
78%) (aOR = 1.4 (95% CI: 1.1–1.8); P = 0.03), while 91% of those aged 70 years and
above agreed compared to 76% of 18–29-year-olds (aOR = 2.3 (95% CI:1.2–4.1);
P = 0.008). Agreement was also higher for those with a self-reported chronic disease
(aOR = 1.4 (95% CI: 1.1–2.0); P = 0.04) and among those who held private health

insurance (aOR = 1.7 (95% CI: 1.3–2.3); P < 0.001). Beyond individual perceptions, 78%
stated that their decision to vaccinate would be supported by family and friends.
The study conducted by Zhang et.al. (2020) About the prevalence of parents’
acceptability of COVID-19 vaccination for their children was 72.6% (764/1052). After
adjusting for significant background characteristics, positive attitudes toward COVID-19
vaccination (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 1.70, 95% CI 1.50-1.91), the perception that a
family member would support them in having their children take up COVID-19
vaccination (ie, perceived subjective norm) (AOR 4.18, 95% CI 3.21-5.43), and
perceived behavioral control to have the children take up COVID-19 vaccination (AOR
1.84, 95% CI 1.49-2.26) were associated with higher parental acceptability of COVID-19
vaccination. Regarding social media influence, higher exposure to positive information
related to COVID-19 vaccination was associated with higher parental acceptability of
COVID-19 vaccination (AOR 1.35, 95% CI 1.17-1.56). Higher exposure to negative
information related to COVID-19 vaccination was negatively associated with the
dependent variable (AOR 0.85, 95% CI 0.74-0.99).
In a study conducted by Nicholas W.S. Chew et.al (2021) entitled “An AsiaPacific study on healthcare workers’ perceptions of, and willingness to receive, the
COVID-19 vaccination” they found out that More than 95% of the healthcare workers
surveyed were willing to vaccinate. These respondents were more likely to perceive the
pandemic as severe, consider the vaccine safe, have less financial concerns, less
stigmatization regarding the vaccine, higher pro-socialness mindset and trust in health
authorities. A high perceived pandemic risk index, low vaccine harm index and high prosocialness index were independent predictors in multivariable analysis.

According to the study of Wake A.D. (2021) entitled “The Willingness to Receive
COVID-19 Vaccine and Its Associated Factors: “Vaccination Refusal Could Prolong the
War of This Pandemic”. The overall rate of participants’ willingness to receive the
Covid-19 vaccine was ranged from 27.7% to 91.3%, which was from Congo and China,
respectively. Factors such as age, educational status, gender, income, residency,
occupation, marital status, race/ethnicity, perceived risk of Covid-19, trust in healthcare
system, health insurance, norms, attitude towards vaccine, perceived benefit of vaccine,
perceived vaccine barriers, self-efficacy, up-to-date on vaccinations, tested for Covid-19
in the past, perceived efficacy of the Covid-19 vaccination, recommended for
vaccination, political leaning, perceived severity of Covid-19, perceived effectiveness of
Covid-19 vaccine, belief that vaccination makes them feel less worried about Covid,
believing in mandatory Covid-19 vaccination, perceived potential vaccine harms,
presence of chronic disease, confidence, Covid-19 vaccine safety concern, working in
healthcare field, believing vaccines can stop the pandemic, fear about Covid-19, cues to
action, Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy, complacency, and receiving any vaccine in the past 5
years were associated with the willingness of receive Covid-19 vaccine.
Synthesis
Over the past years, many researchers have conducted different studies regarding
on the factors that potentially affects the decision making of people receiving various
types of vaccine. (Wake A.D.2021) entitled “The Willingness to Receive COVID-19
Vaccine and Its Associated Factors: “Vaccination Refusal Could Prolong the War of This
Pandemic”. The virus outbreak have forced the government to implement community
quarantine where people were obliged to stay at home to be safe and found out that
11
Dr. Ramon De Santos National High School
San Antonio, Cuyapo, Nueva Ecija
without social interaction people would feel stressed and hopeless. In addition to that, one
of the stressors for the people is the shortage of foods on their table because of the
community quarantine brought by the said virus. (N. Chew et.al 2021) “An Asia-Pacific
study on healthcare workers’ perceptions of, and willingness to receive, the COVID-19
vaccination” they found out that More than 95% of the healthcare workers surveyed were
willing to vaccinate. These respondents were more likely to perceive the pandemic as
severe, consider the vaccine safe, have less financial concerns, less stigmatization
regarding the vaccine, higher pro-socialness mindset and trust in health authorities. The
prevalence of parents’ acceptability of COVID-19 vaccination for their children was
72.6% (Zhang et al 2020). Public perceptions and behaviors towards Covid-19 vaccines.
Respondents generally held positive views towards vaccination (Seale et al 2021).
Respondents who had higher levels of faith in government information were
more inclined to receive a vaccine and follow their employer's suggestion. Public health
authorities need to implement systematic initiatives to reduce vaccine apprehension and
promote vaccine adoption (Mannan and Farhana 2021). Vaccine campaigns effectiveness
and safety are not the only factors that influence their effectiveness in combating
coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19). Acceptance of vaccines among the general
people and healthcare staff looks to be critical to the pandemic's successful management.
The effects of vaccines on the human body are determined by how the body absorbs and
reacts to the vaccine (M. Sallam 2021).

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research Design
This study adopted descriptive-qualitative method of research. Descriptivequalitative was used since it involves describing, recording, analyzing and interpreting
data. The qualitative aspect of the study comprised the use of documents, analysis of
answers to open-ended items placed in the questionnaire (Glass and Hopkins, 2013).
This design is fitted to this study since it aims to determine the perception of
selected barangay officials of cuyapo on the level of effectiveness of different vaccines
available for community administration.
Research Environment
In Cuyapo, Nueva Ecija, a 1st class municipality in the Philippines' Nueva Ecija
province, twenty (20) Barangay officials were chosen at random. The study will be
undertaken in four (4) of fifty-one (51) barangays. The researchers chose the locations of
Barangay San Antonio, Barangay Tagtagumbao, Barangay Nagmisahan, and Barangay
Calancuasan Sur.

protocols since the entire town of Cuyapo was under General Community Quarantine
because of the Covid-19 Pandemic.
Instrument and its Validation
The researchers created a survey questionnaire to assess the perception of selected
barangay officials of Cuyapo on the level of effectiveness of different vaccines available
for community administration. This study used a researcher-made survey questionnaire
based on the CoViD-19 Hesistancy Survey. CoViD-19 Hesitancy Survey is a survey
conducted to determine the hesitancy and trust level of people on vaccines. This was
validated to determine its reliability and validity to gather the necessary and relevant data
needed
To establish validity of the questionnaire, it was tried out and submitted for
checking and evaluation to the research adviser. Corrections, changes, comments and
suggestions were highly taken into consideration in finalizing the questionnaire. After its
revisions, the instrument was ready for its administration to the respondents to gather the
