As a global force to end the COVID-19 outbreak, the UN has seen it as an unifying force. Organizations like the World Health Organization, which coordinates an international campaign for prevention, early diagnosis, and medicine have increased their efforts in containing the virus’ spread. Current vaccine research has been conducted to reduce the Coronavirus curve. The public will have access to current vaccine research and clinical trials between 2020-2022. (Dror et al., 2020). The present impending impasse over vaccinations shows that vaccine availability is not an assurance of sufficient immunization. Initial analyses showed that vaccination compliance could be unevenly and variable. A substantial public education campaign about safety and efficacy of the Coronavirus vaccine is necessary to ensure effective vaccination against COVID-19.
The lecture materials indicate that 83.3% have a bachelor’s in nursing, but none of the interviewed people give positive comments about their willingness to accept COVID-19 vaccinations. A further 83.3% were registered nurses, who believe that vaccines are not necessary or they have been vaccinated for other reasons than helping herd immunity. The virus could also be sexually transmitted according to 83.3% respondents aged 21-22. Dror et.al. Dror et al. (2020) found that healthcare professionals have lower faith in COVID-19 vaccination than non-medical staff. The low acceptance rate for Coronavirus vaccine among nurses could have an adverse effect on future compliance, especially for those who work with or interact with nurses.
Thunstrom et. al. conducted similar studies. The need for consistent warning signals by government agencies (2020) was highlighted. Research showed that inconsistent information by government agencies affected health-related behaviour and risk perception. Additionally, many people opposed to vaccination harbored deep suspicions about the government. Researchers concluded that public education on vaccination may not reduce reluctance. They recommend that healthcare professionals, especially nurses, be given the vaccine as they are the best source of safety and immunization.
