Description 140-161
In countries with large population size, the process of spreading
awareness about an entity is often a challenging task. India,
ranking second in the world in terms of population, was one of the
countries to produce effective vaccines and run a vaccination
campaign in a span of months after the onset of COVID-19.
The main objectives of the survey were to uncover the
predilection of individuals regarding the available vaccines, the
extent of safety and the necessity of vaccines. An attempt
was made to find out the post-vaccination manifestations. The
questionnaire was designed using Google forms which had a total
of 31 questions and was circulated via various social media
platforms. By the time of conduction of the survey, 18.40% of
individuals had received both doses of vaccines and 58.10% of
individuals had pain at the site of injection as the most common
symptom irrespective of the type of vaccine they received. It can
be concluded that the majority of individuals considered
vaccination as the need of the hour. Covishield was the most
favoured vaccine. Although most of the responses received were
assertive, some of the respondents were still sceptical about the
vaccination. It was found that vaccination helped in reducing the
severity of disease and if coupled with other precautionary
measures will lessen the transmission or spread of the virus.
