A knowledge management approach to study Safety and efficacy of Covid-19 vaccination

Abstract

The information leaflets are an indispensable source to communicate with the Patient. which helps to know about the psychology and opinion of the consumer about the drug. Because of a gap of communication between the public, community pharmacists, registered medical practitioners and health care professionals, regarding the safety and efficacy of Covid-19 vaccination. Hence a leaflet was designed in filling the gap of communication and to gain information about the psychology and opinion about the Covid-19 vaccination. The survey was done in the Gulf region. A sample (n = 500) was selected by systematic random sampling from the population of India, Iran, Philippines, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sudan. Questionnaires were used which were open-ended for asking information about the Covid-19 vaccination and comments on the same were noted. The present investigation survey suggested that subjects were having doubts about the safety and efficacy of the vaccine and had a number of questions in their mind regarding the same. Therefore, to overcome the fear of vaccination awareness camps should be organized by the health authority. Also, one should not give emphases on communication means for the adverse reaction and should attend such awareness camp for better knowledge.
