Avoidance of Vaccination Introduction
Avoidance of Vaccination Introduction
Given the global frequency of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a vaccine is being
developed to combat the disease as a supplement to hygiene measures and as a socially
preferable alternative to social distance. Given that a vaccine will eventually be developed, data
will be required to support a possible immunization program. The pandemic, which was caused
by the coronavirus disease 2019 (hereinafter referred to as "COVID-19") and was characterized
by a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, had global
consequences.
Several COVID-19 vaccines are currently available for production and distribution. Several
companies, including Moderna in the United States, Pfizer-Biontech in the United States and
Europe, Osford-AstraZeneca in the United Kingdom, and Sinopharm in China, received
emergency licenses from various health organizations in December 2020. Other vaccines, such
as Russia's Sputnik V, are in phase III and have not yet acquired European Medicines Agency
approval (EMA). However, once the vaccine is accessible, it is critical to identify the motivations
and health beliefs that will influence vaccination decisions so that herd immunity can be
achieved. Knowing the health attitudes that increase vaccination acceptance allows for the
creation of targeted vaccination campaigns.
Messages that impact perceived barriers, advantages, self-efficacy, and dangers to enable
broader vaccine acceptability, according to Jones et al. (6), will induce optimal behavioral
changes. Based on the HBM and a multinomial logistic regression model, this study attempted
to uncover the rejection and reluctance variables in receiving a hypothetical COVID-19
immunization in Cardona rizal. This is significant because the municipality of Cardona will need
to specify the beliefs and factors that should be pursued in vaccine acceptance communication
campaigns.
