 ABSTRACT

Now that several COVID-19 vaccines are available, it is time to determine

whether you should receive the vaccine, bypass the vaccine, or temporary hold off on
vaccination. Keep in mind, the sole means of protection against the virus is the
vaccine.
Social distancing, hand washing, and protective mask are certainly important yet they
do not prevent corona virus infection in the way that the vaccine does. The purpose
of
this research is to: (a) determine the demographic profile of the respondents and (b)
identify the Pros and Cons of Covid-19 vaccines in Barangay Casiawan, Cabucgayan,
Biliran).

According to Pristine Home Care (2022), the primary con to receiving the
vaccine
is the fact that there? Is the potential for side effects. Examples of such side effects
include headaches, slight fever, pain, swelling and fatigue. However, these side
effects
pale in comparison to the impact of the virus, the pros of the vaccine is likely to
prevent
contraction of the virus and also carrying the virus and subsequently transmitting it to
others. This protection in invaluable, especially for those with comorbidities, and the
elderly who are particularly vulnerable to virus.

Based on the results, majority of the respondents disagree that they find it that
there is no harm taking Covid-19 vaccines which has 2 mean; the respondents agree
that many people are taking Covid-19 vaccines which has 3.3 mean. Moreover, some
of the respondents both agree and disagree that they believed Covid-19 vaccines will
be useful in protecting them from Covid-19 infection which has 2 mean.

Chapter ll
Review Related Literature

Now that the several COVID-19 vaccines are available, it is time to determine
whether you should receive the vaccine, bypass the vaccine, or temporarily hold off
on vaccination. Keep in mind, the sole means of protection against the virus is the
vaccine. Social distancing, hand washing, and protective masks are certainly
important yet they do not prevent coronavirus infection in the way that the vaccine
does. Without further ado, let’s take a look at the pros and the cons of the corona virus
vaccine at a local Philadelphia vaccination site.

Con: The Side Effects

The primary con to receiving the vaccine is the fact that there is the potential
for side effects. Examples of such side effects include headaches, slight fever, pain,
swelling, and fatigue. However, these side effects pale in comparison to the impact of
the virus. What matters most is whether you are in good enough physical health to
withstand the side effect of the vaccine. If you are not frail or if you are in your 70s or
80s, there is a chance potential side effects from the vaccine will be problematic.
Though uncommon, it is even possible that these side effects will lead to death.
Pro: Protection Against the Virus!
The vaccine is likely to prevent contraction of the virus and also carrying the
virus and also carrying the virus and subsequently transmitting it to others. This
protection is invaluable, especially for those with comorbidities, and the elderly who
are particularly vulnerable to the virus.
Pro: Peace of Mind
Use your mind’s eye to envision the happiness, relief, and peace of mind you
will enjoy after you are vaccinated against the virus. You will rest easy knowing you
will not contract the virus. You simply cannot put a price on this invaluable peace of
mind.

Pro: Travel and do as You Please

Once you are vaccinated, you will be able to travel, attend concerts, attend
sporting events, visit museums, and generally do as you please in and around
Philadelphia. This is a stark contrast to those who do not receive the vaccine and are
forced to remain at home, living in fear of contracting the virus.
