However, the Covid-19 pandemic, has thrust vaccines into the\u0000spotlight.With this in mind,this study sought to provide more data on public knowledge,attitudes and practices and also\u0000qualitative insights into current vaccination perceptions. Method: This was a cross sectional study conducted between\u0000October 2022 to December 2022. Results: 717 responses were collected, which revealed a significant gap in public\u0000awareness. Only 258 participants were aware of the existence of a government recommended vaccination schedule.\u0000Encouragingly, vaccination rates were relatively high with 363(86.84%) out of 418 men and 263(87.95%) out of 299\u0000women being vaccinated at least once in their life.However,it is noteworthy that only 303 participants reported receiving\u0000a vaccine other than the SARS-COV2 vaccine. Conclusion: The study highlights the overall low awareness of the adult\u0000vaccination schedule in India,emphasizing the need for a collected effort from the government and healthcare workers\u0000to address this issue. Enhancing the public knowledge about vaccination practices is essential to ensure widespread\u0000participation and ultimately improve public health outcomes.","PeriodicalId":19910,"journal":{"name":"Paripex Indian Journal Of Research","volume":"27 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140456015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
