Introduction In 2019, the whole World faced with the great challenges in the health due to the epic outbreak of novel Corona virus. World Health Organization WHO declared the Corona virus as the global health emergency on January 30, 2020. The Covid 19 vaccine are widely created for their role in reducing the spread of Covid 19 and reducing the severity and death caused by Covid 19. People’s perception toward vaccine acceptance have fluctuated with the information flow in various social medias and the severity of COVID 19 cases. This study aimed to assess the level of knowledge and attitude about Covid 19 vaccine among the community people. Methods Quantitative approach with descriptive research design was adopted for the present study. Two hundred 200 adults aged 20 60 years from Angarpada and Mahul residence in Khordha District, Odisha were selected purposively. Adults who gave their consent and were present during the data collection period were included in the study. Pregnant woman and the people have systemic diseases were excluded from the study. The tools used to collect the data were 1. Socio demographic questionnaire, 2. Knowledge questionnaire to assess the Covid 19 vaccination and 3. Attitude scale to assess the attitude on Covid 19 vaccine. The data was analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results Vaccination status of the adults living in the Khordha district shows that 83 of people vaccinated for COVID 19. Level of knowledge on covid19 vaccine shows that more than half of the people 52.5 had poor knowledge. Highest percentage of adults 47.5 had neutral attitude. The mean knowledge score is 10±3.59 and mean attitude score is 92.38±6.54. There was a very weak positive correlation r = 0.176, p = 0.096 found between the knowledge and attitude. Conclusion The study results indicates that most of the community people are having adequate knowledge and having neutral attitude towards the Covid 19 vaccination. It shows that awareness is needed on the importance of vaccination. Dr. B.

A patient will visit physicians when he/she feels ill. This illness is not for COVID-19 but it is a general tendency of human being to visit doctor probably it cannot be controlled by general drug. When a patient comes to a doctor, the doctor examines him/her after knowing his/her problem. The physician always asks him/her about some questions related to him/her daily life. For example, if a young male patient comes to a doctor with a symptom of fever and cough, the first question doctor asked him that he has a habit of smoking. Then doctor asks him whether this type of symptom appeared often to him previously or not. If the answers of both questions are yes, then the first one is habit and the second one is that he may suffering from some serious disease or a disease due to the weather. The aim of this paper is to consider habit of the patient as well as he/she has been affected by a critical disease. This information is used to build a model that will predict whether there is any possibility of his/her being affected by COVID-19.
This research work contributes to tackle the pandemic situation occurred due to Corona Virus Infectious Disease, 2019 (Covid-19). Outbreak of this disease happens based on numerous factors such as past health records and habits of patients. Health records include diabetes tendency, cardiovascular disease existence, pregnancy, asthma, hypertension, pneumonia; chronic renal disease may contribute to this disease occurrence. Past lifestyles such as tobacco, alcohol consumption may be analyzed.
A deep learning based framework is investigated to verify the relationship between past health records, habits of patients and covid-19 occurrence. A stacked Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) based model is proposed in this paper that identifies whether a patient can be infected by this disease or not. The proposed predictive system is compared against existing benchmark Machine Learning classifiers such as Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Decision Tree (DT).

Coronavirus disease 2019 COVID 19 , which causes serious respiratory illness such as pneumonia and lung failure, was first reported in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei, China. The etiological agent of COVID 19 has been confirmed as a novel coronavirus, now known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 SARS CoV 2 , which is most likely originated from zoonotic coronaviruses, like SARS CoV, which emerged in 2002. Rapid diagnostics, vaccines and therapeutics are important interventions for the management of the 2019 novel coronavirus 2019 nCoV outbreak. Currently, various diagnostic kits to test for COVID 19 are available and several repurposing therapeutics for COVID 19 have shown to be clinically effective. In addition, global institutions and companies have begun to develop vaccines for the prevention of COVID 19. Here, we review the current status of, diagnosis, and vaccine development for COVID 19.

healthcare professionals around the world. However, many developing
countries are not aware of this problem. The aim of this study is to explore the
challenges faced by healthcare professionals (doctors and nurses) during
COVID-19 in India.
A worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 was reported on March 11, 2020 Although
isolation is the best way to prevent the spread of the disease, it is not easy to
access for physicians who require direct contact with COVID-19 patients.
Frontline healthcare professionals are particularly vulnerable during this
epidemic as they work to control the disease As of October 15, 2020, there
were approximately 4,797 covid-19 cases between doctors and nurses,
resulting in more than 100 medical deaths in India
In addition to physical risks, this public health affects the mindset of health

The susceptible-infected-recovered-dead model for long-term identification o...IJECEIAES
The coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic has spread massively to almost all countries including Indonesia, in just a few months. An important step to overcoming the spread of the COVID-19 is understanding its epidemiology through mathematical modeling intervention. Knowledge of epidemic dynamics patterns is an important part of making timely decisions and preparing hospitals for the outbreak peak. In this study, we developed the susceptible-infected-recovered-dead (SIRD) model, which incorporates the key epidemiological parameters to model and estimate the long-term spread of the COVID-19. The proposed model formulation is data-based analysis using public COVID-19 data from March 2, 2020 to May 15, 2021. Based on numerical analysis, the spread of the pandemic will begin to fade out after November 5, 2021. As a consequence of this virus attack, the cumulative number of infected, recovered, and dead people were estimated at ≈ 3,200,000, ≈ 3,437,000 and ≈ 63,000 people, respectively. Besides, the key epidemiological parameter indicates that the average reproduction number value of COVID-19 in Indonesia is 7.32. The long-term prediction of COVID-19 in Indonesia and its epidemiology can be well described using the SIRD model. The model can be applied in specific regions or cities in understanding the epidemic pattern of COVID-19.

As COVID 19 cases are increasing rapidly in India again and making our lives hard, there’s a nasty and rare fungal infection affecting some coronavirus patients and it is giving the country a double blow. Fungal infections can be devastating and very harmful. We have seen various reports of fungal infection with mucormycosis, termed as “Black fungusâ€, in patients having COVID 19 or who are recovering from the coronavirus. India has registered around 11,717 cases of black fungus till May 25. Maximum of these cases are being reported from Gujarat and Maharashtra only. There are 2,859 cases of black fungus so far in Gujrat, Maharashtra has 2,770 cases, followed by 768 mucormycosis cases in Andhra Pradesh, 752 in Madhya Pradesh, and there are 744 cases in Telangana. Together, these five states have more than 65 percent of India’s total black fungus cases. The capital city has reported 620 cases of black fungus. Union Minister Mr. Sadananda Gowda said on 26th May that there are 119 mucormycosis cases in Delhi.

COVID-19: Knowledge Base, Attitudes and Practices among Practising Journalist...Premier Publishers
The Coronavirus pandemic is presently the topic of discussion among various segments of global society. From the developed North to the developing South, within economically poor and rich countries, the huge rates of infection and resulting deaths from the pandemic has surpassed anything seen for a long time. Health systems and economies in both developed and developing countries are challenged in ways never imagined. The global efforts to mitigate the effects of the pandemic are moving at a very fast pace. Public health information is one of the strategies being used to ensure that persons are knowledgeable about the pandemic and adopt practices and protocols that will stem infections within the community. This study was undertaken to gauge the knowledge levels of journalists in the Nigerian capital city of Abuja and the impact of the knowledge on their attitudes and practices. The knowledge, attitudes and practice study model were used to gauge the interrelatedness of these variables among the study group. Logit regression tests, t-tests, chi-square and descriptive analysis were used to determine knowledge levels as well as what factors influenced attitudes and practices towards COVID-19 within the group. Overall, knowledge level amongst the study group was good and had a positive impact on attitude patterns. However, there was no high positive correlation between knowledge and practices. It is suggested that journalists in Nigeria must adhere to public health protocols in order to be able to engage in multi-platform public health information awareness publications which will sensitize the public into observing the COVID containment protocols.

and gathers perspectives. Thus, social media has taken a huge place among people all over the world. And the ideas shared on
social media reach people instantly. The Covid-19 virus, which is affecting more and more people around the world, It has infected
millions in various countries and caused many thousands of deaths. In India, a country with a large population, the incidence of
this virus is really higher. A Pune-based serum company has won a contract to develop the Covishield, a vaccine developed by the
University of Oxford in the United Kingdom to control the virus. And Bharat Biotech, based in Hyderabad has developed a vaccine
called 'Covaxin' in the national level invention. The two vaccines have been approved by the federal government for use on an
emergency basis. Accordingly, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of India has confirmed that these two vaccines are

Current Status and Future Perspective of Rapid Diagnostic Kits Vaccine agains...ijtsrd
Coronavirus disease 2019 COVID 19 , which causes serious respiratory illness such as pneumonia and lung failure, was first reported in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei, China. The etiological agent of COVID 19 has been confirmed as a novel coronavirus, now known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 SARS CoV 2 , which is most likely originated from zoonotic coronaviruses, like SARS CoV, which emerged in 2002. Rapid diagnostics, vaccines and therapeutics are important interventions for the management of the 2019 novel coronavirus 2019 nCoV outbreak. Currently, various diagnostic kits to test for COVID 19 are available and several repurposing therapeutics for COVID 19 have shown to be clinically effective. In addition, global institutions and companies have begun to develop vaccines for the prevention of COVID 19. Here, we review the current status of, diagnosis, and vaccine development for COVID 19.

Impact on Healthcare Professionals
The 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is an ever-evolving challenge for
healthcare professionals around the world. However, many developing
countries are not aware of this problem. The aim of this study is to explore the
challenges faced by healthcare professionals (doctors and nurses) during
COVID-19 in India.
A worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 was reported on March 11, 2020 Although
isolation is the best way to prevent the spread of the disease, it is not easy to
access for physicians who require direct contact with COVID-19 patients.
Frontline healthcare professionals are particularly vulnerable during this
epidemic as they work to control the disease As of October 15, 2020, there
were approximately 4,797 covid-19 cases between doctors and nurses,

The susceptible-infected-recovered-dead model for long-term identification o...IJECEIAES
The coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic has spread massively to almost all countries including Indonesia, in just a few months. An important step to overcoming the spread of the COVID-19 is understanding its epidemiology through mathematical modeling intervention. Knowledge of epidemic dynamics patterns is an important part of making timely decisions and preparing hospitals for the outbreak peak. In this study, we developed the susceptible-infected-recovered-dead (SIRD) model, which incorporates the key epidemiological parameters to model and estimate the long-term spread of the COVID-19. The proposed model formulation is data-based analysis using public COVID-19 data from March 2, 2020 to May 15, 2021. Based on numerical analysis, the spread of the pandemic will begin to fade out after November 5, 2021. As a consequence of this virus attack, the cumulative number of infected, recovered, and dead people were estimated at ≈ 3,200,000, ≈ 3,437,000 and ≈ 63,000 people, respectively. Besides, the key epidemiological parameter indicates that the average reproduction number value of COVID-19 in Indonesia is 7.32. The long-term prediction of COVID-19 in Indonesia and its epidemiology can be well described using the SIRD model. The model can be applied in specific regions or cities in understanding the epidemic pattern of COVID-19.

As COVID 19 cases are increasing rapidly in India again and making our lives hard, there’s a nasty and rare fungal infection affecting some coronavirus patients and it is giving the country a double blow. Fungal infections can be devastating and very harmful. We have seen various reports of fungal infection with mucormycosis, termed as “Black fungusâ€, in patients having COVID 19 or who are recovering from the coronavirus. India has registered around 11,717 cases of black fungus till May 25. Maximum of these cases are being reported from Gujarat and Maharashtra only. There are 2,859 cases of black fungus so far in Gujrat, Maharashtra has 2,770 cases, followed by 768 mucormycosis cases in Andhra Pradesh, 752 in Madhya Pradesh, and there are 744 cases in Telangana. Together, these five states have more than 65 percent of India’s total black fungus cases. The capital city has reported 620 cases of black fungus.

COVID-19: Knowledge Base, Attitudes and Practices among Practising Journalist...Premier Publishers
The Coronavirus pandemic is presently the topic of discussion among various segments of global society. From the developed North to the developing South, within economically poor and rich countries, the huge rates of infection and resulting deaths from the pandemic has surpassed anything seen for a long time. Health systems and economies in both developed and developing countries are challenged in ways never imagined. The global efforts to mitigate the effects of the pandemic are moving at a very fast pace. Public health information is one of the strategies being used to ensure that persons are knowledgeable about the pandemic and adopt practices and protocols that will stem infections within the community. This study was undertaken to gauge the knowledge levels of journalists in the Nigerian capital city of Abuja and the impact of the knowledge on their attitudes and practices. The knowledge, attitudes and practice study model were used to gauge the interrelatedness of these variables among the study group. Logit regression tests, t-tests, chi-square and descriptive analysis were used to determine knowledge levels as well as what factors influenced attitudes and practices towards COVID-19 within the group. Overall, knowledge level amongst the study group was good and had a positive impact on attitude patterns. However, there was no high positive correlation between knowledge and practices. It is suggested that journalists in Nigeria must adhere to public health protocols in order to be able to engage in multi-platform public health information awareness publications which will sensitize the public into observing the COVID containment protocols.

Improving Workplace Safety Performance in Malaysian SMEs: The Role of Safety ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: In the Malaysian context, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) experience a significant
burden of workplace accidents. A consensus among scholars attributes a substantial portion of these incidents to
human factors, particularly unsafe behaviors. This study, conducted in Malaysia's northern region, specifically
targeted Safety and Health/Human Resource professionals within the manufacturing sector of SMEs. We
gathered a robust dataset comprising 107 responses through a meticulously designed self-administered
questionnaire. Employing advanced partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) techniques
with SmartPLS 3.2.9, we rigorously analyzed the data to scrutinize the intricate relationship between safety
behavior and safety performance. The research findings unequivocally underscore the palpable and
consequential impact of safety behavior variables, namely safety compliance and safety participation, on
improving safety performance indicators such as accidents, injuries, and property damages. These results
strongly validate research hypotheses. Consequently, this study highlights the pivotal significance of cultivating
safety behavior among employees, particularly in resource-constrained SME settings, as an essential step toward
enhancing workplace safety performance.

ABSTRACT: Although a significant amount of literature exists on Morocco's migration policies and their
successes and failures since their implementation in 2014, there is limited research on the integration of subSaharan African children into schools. This paperis part of a Ph.D. research project that aims to fill this gap. It
reports the main findings of a study conducted with migrant children enrolled in two public schools in Rabat,
Morocco, exploring how integration is defined by the children themselves and identifying the obstacles that they
have encountered thus far. The following paper uses an inductive approach and primarily focuses on the
relationships of children with their teachers and peers as a key aspect of integration for students with a migration
background. The study has led to several crucial findings. It emphasizes the significance of speaking Colloquial
Moroccan Arabic (Darija) and being part of a community for effective integration. Moreover, it reveals that the
use of Modern Standard Arabic as the language of instruction in schools is a source of frustration for students,
indicating the need for language policy reform. The study underlines the importanceof considering the
children‟s agency when being integrated into mainstream public schools.

1. INTRODUCTION
As of 19 April 2021, WHO reports 142,238,073 confirmed cases and 3,032,124 confirmed deaths in 207 countries,
areas, or regions, [1] have explained that social media have become the most important platform for online
communication, democracy, fact, and origin of infotainment. In a pandemic condition like the Covid-19 outbreak,
social media is the most searched platform for gathering news. However, there are lakhs of people spreading
information, awareness, and rumors about Covid-19 Vaccines and vaccination [2]. In this study, Social media must
be controlled to support the public health response [3]. A well-planned analysis of global online conversations could
provide an assessment of the spread and possible changes in public attitudes and behavior. Development of new
vaccines, internationally coordinated responses to public perceptions and attitudes [4]. Numerous research articles
have been published on the Covid-19 and its associated diseases, but a few studies have been published on the Covid-
19 vaccines and their benefits and harms[5]. In this study, the researcher explained, which social media is popular
among urban areas of Chennai[6]. Also, the researchers have found, whether social media is creating awareness or
causing fear to the public concerning the Covid-19 Vaccines, In-depth interviews were conducted using five close-

social media platforms.
a. Severe Respiratory Disease (SARS - Background)
SARS threatens China in 2003. The disease is transmitted by a type of virus that infects the respiratory tract. The
virus, first detected in China, has infected 37 countries. A total of 8,098 people were affected by SARS, of whom 774
died. About 17 years later, the same virus struck China again. The virus infects the lungs and causes pneumonia.
Today the Covid-19 virus is threatening the world. But before that, AIDS was a disease that shocked everyone around
the world [6]. In 1976, AIDS spread from the African nation of Congo. The worst cases were reported in the 1990s
and 2000s. Previous Statistical shows that about three crores 60 lakh people have died of AIDS so far. Due to the
ongoing awareness and high-quality medicine about the deadly disease AIDS, the number of people suffering from
the disease is declining significantly [7].
b. Covid-19 virus vs Vaccines
The virus is suspected to have spread from an animal slaughterhouse in China's Wuhan province in December 2019.
Although the virus may have changed in bats, research has shown that it can be transmitted by snakes. But, most
researchers disagree. They say there is no clear evidence that the Covid-19 virus can infect snakes and that only birds
can easily infect the virus. Although the Covid-19 virus has been around for centuries, no casualties were reported
until 2002. So far the current statistics show that the infection rate is higher and the incidence is lower. All the major
diseases mentioned in history. Many thousands have died [8]. It should be noted that in a densely populated country
like China, only more than a hundred deaths have occurred in three weeks. This is only 3 percent. When will the
Covid-19 vaccine be discovered, and when will it hit the market in 2020? The answer to that question is available as
early as 2021. Covid-19 vaccination for the public in various states of India will begin soon. To confirm this, rehearsals
for Covid-19-virus vaccination have been held today in five places in Tamil Nadu including Chennai, Nellai, and
Nilgiris. Covid-19 vaccination is to be given to front-line personnel, including doctors, police and the media, and the
public, following the guidelines followed during the rehearsal. Due to the work of doctors, nurses, cleaners, police,
and journalists, the first phase of Covid-19 vaccination will be given to 5 lakh people in Tamil Nadu who are at high
risk of Covid-19 infection [9]. A total of 42,000 places have been identified as shopping malls and primary health
centers. 21 thousand nurses have been specially trained to be vaccinated. With them, Covid-19 Vaccine rehearsals
were conducted at a total of 17 places in the state of Tamil Nadu, including the Rajiv Gandhi Government General
Hospital in Chennai and the Government Health Canter in Santhom. Those who will be vaccinated against Covid-19
will first receive an SMS confirming it. It will contain details including the place, day, and time of vaccination.
According to that description, users have to go to a particular canter on a particular day. Users, there will be given
disinfectants for hand-washing [10]. After that, they will be seated in a social space. Users who are seated with a social
gap will be verified with their ID card or Aadhaar ID to verify that they are the same person who sent the SMS to be
vaccinated as per the register. The blood pressure and sugar levels of the vaccinated persons are checked. If all goes
well they will be sent to a special room where the Covid-19 vaccine will be given. Persons who have been vaccinated
against Covid-19 in a separate room should not leave the home immediately. They must stay in the vaccination centers
for 30 minutes [11]. After that, they can return home with the consent of the doctors if they do not feel any discomfort.
The vaccine is given in 2 doses at one-month intervals [12]. According to the World Health Organization Instructions,
it is planned to vaccinate a maximum of 100 people a day at a rate of 25 people per 2 hours. COVID-19 affects
different people in different ways. Most infected people will develop mild to moderate illness and recover without
hospitalization [13].
c. Astrazeneca Covid-19 Vaccine
The World Health Organization (WHO) has said it has no problem using AstraZeneca’s Covit-19 vaccine as European
countries avoid it. European countries, including Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Italy, and Romania, have been reported

4. to have contracted some blood clots due to the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine, which has been used to prevent the
spread of the Covid-19 virus. As a result, many Europeans are reluctant to be vaccinated with AstraZeneca. Due to
this, these countries are reducing the supply of the Govt-19 vaccine. But The World Health Organization's Prevention
and Drug Advisory Committee has studied this. It has nothing to do with the AstraZeneca vaccine and blood clotting.
A study of Covid-19 deaths revealed no deaths due to the vaccine. WHO spokeswoman Margaret Harris has strongly
declared that there is no harm in using AstraZeneca like other vaccines. Before starting this study, the researcher has
discussed with the government physician about the Covid-19 Vaccines, because the researcher wants to know about
the vaccine before conducting the interview with the public. The researcher asked few important questions about
Covid-19 vaccines to find out the awareness ratio of the urban people who know about the vaccine. The Government
Physician patiently answered the all questions.
2. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
The awareness level about the negative and positive roles of web-based social media in the pandemic state of
COVID-19, and he has discovered his investigation, it is shown that most of the gathering have acquired information
and awareness on COVID-19, through social media. The role of social media has been a great help in all times of
disaster. As mentioned in this study, social media is a medium that reaches more people today. As mentioned in this
study the news spread on social media sometimes brings negative news to the people as well as many times positive
news to the people. Public awareness of COVID-19 can be reinforced by TV, We Chat, newspapers, Internet social
stages, just as loved ones. The utilization of social media platforms can emphatically impact awareness of public
health behavioural changes and public protection against COVID-19. According to the researcher in this study, social
media has made a tremendous difference to people with health-related news in times of the Covid-19 outbreak. The
impact of media reportage and public feeling may have a strong influence on the public and private sectors in making
decisions. According to the researcher in this study, the media has always been a mirror that reflects the feelings of
the people. The Public health regime may use online media platforms as useful tools to increase public health
awareness. According to the researcher in this study, social media plays a huge role in bringing health awareness
messages to the masses. The social media reports to take a more progressive role, those who follow the social media,
who want to start taking responsibility for our posting and sharing. As this study points out, the person sharing the
news should be responsible for all the news spread on social media, because more and more people today have in their
hands not only cell phones but also social media. According to this research article, while the health-related ideas
spread by social media raise enough awareness among the public, social media has brought enough awareness
messages to the public during the Covid-19 outbreak in a large country like China. Social media has explained how
people can protect themselves from the Covid-19 virus. The Usage of social media to conduct health campaigns is a
powerful state as one can reach out to many people over a short time period. There is a growing pattern in the attention
to health awareness with the effective use of digital media as a tool for spreading information. According to the
researcher in his study, social media health awareness messages go to the people at the same time and create adequate
awareness. Chan, digital media has the potential if responsibly and suitably used, to give fast and effective key
information during the COVID-19 pandemic. A clear relationship between right-leaning media consumption and
pandemic-related public health beliefs.

majority of respondents are answered Covid-19 vaccine increases reliability and awareness. Very few people are
answered they get a little scared when they see news about the Covid-19 vaccine on social media.
6. DISCUSSION
All social media is founded for the benefit of the people. At the same time, social media users' followers should
think or analyse themselves before share their favorite messages or opinion via social media. Because nowadays all
age groups are following it, social media has become a much faster medium to reach people than television, radio, and
newspapers.
All social media is started for the benefit of the people. At the same time, Social media users may share their
messages after in-depth analyses. Because users cannot modify once messages shared with others. Nowadays social
media has become a much faster medium to reach people than television, radio, and newspapers. The results of this
study make it clear that all social networking sites and media are very responsible. People share messages about
welfare and health which reach all kinds of individuals and they get the benefit. Before the arrival of social media, the
awareness of news was spread through traditional media like newspaper television and radio had been massively
popular. But social media has overcome the prior Media.
From the day the Covid-19 virus was spreading in 2019 till today people are seeing various gossips on social media.
At the same time, Social Medias are creating awareness of “how to protect ourselves” from the effects of the Covid-
19 virus. The researcher has conducted the study to find out the level of vaccination awareness among the people
during the period of the second wave of Covid-19 in India. Many countries have been recovered from the second wave
of Covid-19. Now countries like India need to recover from the second wave. We hope that such studies will be useful.
The Indian government has announced that both Covid-19 vaccines covishield and covaxin are safe, even though still
lees percentage of the population coming forward to be vaccinated. The reason why people voluntarily get vaccinated
is that some people share the misinformation about the Covid-19 vaccine on social media, thus making people less
conscious of the Covid-19 vaccine.

9. In Tables 4 and 5, the investigator explains the number of people following social media and the number of people
who have been vaccinated, and why they have not been vaccinated. The results of this study show that people are
more aware of vaccine related messages than the misinformation that appears on social media. Because the majority
of people say that awareness messages about the vaccine increase our reliability. Table 4 indicates that people who
have been vaccinated, after that they felt safe and some of them say it boosts their self-confidence. A very less
percentage of people are saying; they had little fear. Table 3 indicates that the number of people who have been
vaccinated is higher than those who have not been vaccinated, thus showing that people living in Chennai areas have
a better understanding of the Covid-19 vaccine. The results of Table 2 show that social media followers age 18 to 30
and 31 to 50 years old people largely cooperate with the study. At the same time, it shows that very few people over
the age of 50 contributed to the study. Finally, Table 1 shows that WhatsUp and YouTube are the most followed social
media by the people of Chennai and both of these are trustworthy and also this study shows that people consider Social
media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram as reliable mediums.
7. CONCLUSION
From the study, it is shown that the majority of respondents have answered awareness increased on Covid-19
Vaccine through social media. Social media is a collective platform shared by all groups of people. They share the
facts and awareness placed by the government during quarantine and people have understood to some extent what
happenings in the country, at the same time People are advised not to believe all the information randomly. The survey
was conducted among the people living in four urban areas in Chennai. The study was conducted on the basis of a
field study on the extent to which people are currently aware of the widely shared Covid-19 vaccine. The results of
this study show that people are paying attention to other news shared on social media as well as health-related
awareness messages, while others say they are a little apprehensive about rumours about the Covid-19 vaccine. These
are reflected in the results of this study. These results of the Covid-19 vaccine are tentative and vary from place to
place from time to time and the results of this study are not permanent.
8. SCOPE OF THE STUDY
Further research is needed to examine how social media channels can be used to improve health knowledge and to
adopt healthy behaviours in cross-cultural contexts. All of the data obtained in this study may change from time to
time so the results of this study cannot be taken permanently. The percentage of women and men who were vaccinated
against the Covid-19 was not focused in this study. Misconceptions spreading on social media were not questioned in
this study. And people are not being questioned about minor allergies or side effects caused by the vaccine. The future
of social media is in the hands of the people. This is because the results of this study show that urban residents who
handle social media are surplus times more aware. And the researcher hopes this study would be useful for future
generations to study the Covid-19 vaccine.
