Here, we review various COVID-19 vaccines and the success of the vaccine rollout in KSA. Pfi zer/ BioNTech is currently being used at all vaccination centers in the KSA. Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia aim is to make the COVID-19 vaccine available to all citizens and residents within the coming months, based on a phased strategic plan to limit the impact the COVID-19 virus on our community and our critical infrastructure. People should get knowledge regarding vaccination and get benefi t of it. So, it was important to create awareness among the people residing inside the Kingdom to safeguard themselves and others, due to current pandemic situation physical gathering to give group health education is not applicable and only way to impart knowledge through online (virtual), therefore as the faculty of Applied Medical Science College For Females At Alnamas, University Of Bisha I selected this study to Evaluate The Eff ectiveness Of Virtual Health Education Program On Covid-19 Vaccination Among The People Residing At Selected Areas In Alnamas. The tool used for the research study was demographic data, virtual health education program, semi structured awareness scale and knowledge online questionnaire to assess the knowledge on Covid-19 vaccination. Before conducting the study, formal permission was obtained. Informed consent was obtained from the participants. The period of data collection was done for 4 weeks. The researcher introduced self to each subject and explained the purpose of the study and assessed the knowledge level before conducting virtual health education program on Covid-19 vaccination. After fi nishing virtual health education program again, the knowledge level was assessed. Data analysis was done according to the objectives of the study using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Frequency percentage mean and standard deviation were used for the analysis. Study fi ndings reveals that the virtual health education program is eff ective, and which was evidenced by the gain in posttest knowledge score was signifi cant at 0.05 level of signifi cant and the value of z is-7.2477. and the value of p is <. 00001.. The result is signifi cant at p < .05. Findings revealed that virtual health education program on Covid -19 vaccination among people age between 18 years to 65 years and above was an eff ective teaching strategy in gaining knowledge among the people. The fi ndings also revealed that there was signifi cant association between knowledge level and education of the participant, received any information before regarding Covid-19 vaccination. But there is no association between knowledge level and age, citizenship, family income per –month.

Tobacco smoking is also known for its toxic eff ects on the cardiopulmonary system. Thus, aerobic capacity change is an exciting area for discussion among tobacco smokers, parallel to the cardiopulmonary eff ect. There is signifi cant agreement that aerobic capacity is reduced in tobacco smokers and improves by regular physical exercise in a dose-related manner. Few scattered studies showed minimal or no eff ect of physical exercise on aerobic capacity. Further clinical trials need to assess the impact of physical exercise and related improving & suppresser factors on the aerobic capacity among tobacco smokers.","PeriodicalId":366153,"journal":{"name":"Research International Journal of Community Medicine and Public Health","volume":"2015 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121486002","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}
