PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

VACCINATION: IT’S IMPACT TO THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF

THE SMAW – 12 STUDENTS

At the start of the school year, the covid-19 pandemic continued to inflict
massive disruptions on all aspects of daily life, presenting educators,
students, and their families with enormous challenges, even as many schools
began to reopen. Although the severity of these challenges varied across
schools, districts, and states. The 2020- 2021 academic year was far from
normal for everyone. The National Institute of Health has published a report
on the effects of vaccination and students academic performance. In this
study we examined the effect of covid-19 vaccine on students academic
performance in grade k to12. We found that studentswho received covid-19
vaccine were more likely to achieve higher levels of academic achievement
than those who did not receive.

The positive effects of vaccination on the academic performance of the

students includes: increased self-esteem and confidence; improve academic
performance, which is associated with higher and better grades; increased
social skills, such as problem solving and teamwork.

The negative effects of vaccination to the academic performance of the

students includes: increase risk for suicide; decreased ability to concentrate
and study, which can lead to poor academic performance; increased
likelihood of dropping out or failing.
 This research is conducted in order to investigate impact of vaccination
on academic performance.

Review of Related Literature

This part of the study presents the review of related literature, after the
through in depth research done by researchers. It discuss the different
concepts, observation, generalization and conclusion done by other
researchers. The results show that there is a significant difference between
vaccinated and unvaccinated students based on the different factors that
affects the academic performance in school because they have more
chances
to get good academic performance and it also shows what is covid-19
vaccine.

At first our lives were quiet and peaceful, but suddenly it was stopped
and replaced by fear and dread, due to the arriving covid-19 virus. This virus
spread rapidly to many countries around the world and caused an epidemic
with a large number of infected and deceased people, because of this
lockdown measures have been implemented in many parts of the world.
Students and teachers are both suffered because the face to face classes
were stopped. It is difficult for them to adjust to the new way of learning, as
they are not wonted to it and no teachers will teach and guide them in
answering their modules. Implementation of physical measures to interrupt or
reduce the spread of respiratory viruses based on sustained physical
distancing, restriction of social gatherings, mandatory of wearing face mask
and proper hand washing. Fortunately, scientists have invented a vaccine to
fight the covid-19 virus

Vaccine
Vaccination is the most effective method to mitigate the disease and this
is essential to control the covid-19 pandemic.
Basic vaccination is important to protect children from infectious
diseases and illnesses. Adequate levels of vaccination coverage reduce the
morbidity and mortality burden among children and promote their physical
and mental development (William Joe et al, 2022).
According to Iva Sidanin, Biljana Ratkovic Njegova, and Bojana
Sokolovic (2021) that when it comes to trust in media reports about the need
for vaccination, the conducted research showed that students who had more
trust in media information approached vaccination without hesitation. Trust in
the media was significantly lower among unvaccinated students. Measuring
the effects of media messages is a very delicate and complex process, which
depends not only on the research methodology, but also on the researcher’s
point of view, which can sometimes be based on the premise of strong media
message effects, or on limited media message effects.

According to CDC.GOV (2022) that covid-19 vaccines help our bodies

develop immunity to the virus that causes covid-19 without us having to get
the illness. There are different types of covid-19 vaccines work in different
ways to offer protection and appoved or authorized to use in the united states,
the mRNA, viral vector and protein subunit.

mRNA vaccines (Pfizer – BioNTech or Moderna)

It was created in a laboratory to teach our cells how to make a protein- or
even just a piece of a protein-that triggers an immune response, which
produces antibodies, is what helps protect us from getting sick from that germ
in the future.

Protein subunit vaccines (Novavax)

It contain pieces (proteins) of the virus that causes COVID-19. These virus
pieces are the spike protein. The vaccine also contains another ingredient
called an adjuvant that helps the immune system respond to that spike
protein in the future. Once the immune system respond to the spke prtotein,
the immune system will be able to respond quickly to the actual virus spike
protein and protect you against COVID-19.

Viral vector vaccines (Johnson & Johnson’s Janseen)

Viral vector COVID-19 vaccines use a modified version of a different virus to
deliver important instruction to our cells.

They also stated that there are possible side effects after getting a
booster shot and it is similar to those after the two dose or single – dose
primary shots. Most side effects were mild to moderate and the most
common reported side effects were:
 Fever
 Headache
 Fatigue (tired)
 Pain at the injection site

Covid-19 Vaccination Willingness in Adolescents

Elke Humer and Andrea Jesser (2020) gives emphasis that vaccination
is essential to control the covid-19 pandemic. High vaccination willingness is
a key for successful vaccination programs. The covid-19 course is
significantly milder in adolescents than in adults, it is important to include
adolescents as targets for vaccination to protect other, more vulnerable
populations and help mitigate the covid-19 pandemic. Vaccination readiness
and vaccine hesitancy are key factors for vaccination coverage.

Education status affected adolescents willingness to receive vaccination,

with high school students reporting higher willingness than apprencities of the
same age supported by Afifi et al. As well as Lin et al. Also supported
that showing lower acceptance among less – educated adults.

They found gender to influence vaccine acceptance, with male

adolescents showing a higher willingness to vaccinate. As summarized by
Bono et al. [8] discover that some studies support lower vaccination
willingness by females, likely due to their higher fear of side effects.

How has covid-19 affects students?

Benedette Cuffari (2020) discusses on how has covid-19 affects the
students in:

 Distance learning
That educational institutions adopted distance learning to ensure that
students were still getting an education while the world continued to battle
covid-19. This distance learning which was often achieved through the use of
various online resources, was quickly initiated at all academic levels with an
uncertain duration. Many higher education institutions were already familiar
with online teaching platforms, most teachers were left with little to no
information on how transition from in - person teaching to distance learning.

 Developmental effects
Children develop social and emotional skills in school that plays an
important part in their development. Some of the important aspects of school
that contribute to the development of these skills include the relationships that
children make with other students and their teachers, a sense of routine, and
after – school activities that support their mental and emotional well being.
School closures also caused students to experience a prolonged state of
physical isolation in adults is often associated with a wide range of negative
psychological facts, it is not surprising that these restrictions are also
affecting the mental health of children and adolescents.

 Health of students
 There were relatively few covid-19 cases that were reported in children
and adolescents. It was prematurely thought that children were spared from
the infection by covid-19 and they have been identified as susceptible to this
virus. It has been reported that a large percentage of children infected with
covid-19 virus will be asymptomatic or pre – asymptomatic , therefore they
are at a lower risk of hospitalization and severe complications of covid-19.

Impact of covid-19 pandemic on teaching and learning

Sumitra Pokhrel and Roshan Chhetri (2021) professed that the
COVID-19 pandemic has created the largest disruption of education systems
in human history, affecting nearly 1.6 billion learners in more than 200
countries. Closures of schools, institutions and other learning spaces have
impacted more than 94% of the world’s student population. This was brought
far – reaching changes in all aspects of our lives. Social distancing and
restrictive movement policies have significantly disturbed traditional
educational practices.
The level of academic performance of the students is likely to drop for
the classes held for both year-end examination and internal examination due
to reduced contact hour for learners and lack of consultation with teachers
when facing difficulties in learning/understanding (Sintena, 2020).
Many countries have substantial with a reliable internet connection and
access to digital devices. While, in many developing countries, the
economically backward children are unable to afford online learning devices,
the online education poses a risk of exposure to increased screen time for
the learner. Therefore, it has become essential for students who engage in
offline activities and self-exploratory learning. Lack of parental guidance,
especially for young learners, is another challenge, as both parents are
working. There are practical issues around physical workspaces conducive to
different ways of learning (Murgatrotd,2020).
 According to Nishita Gadi, Saman Saleh, Jo-Anne Johnson and Aaron
Trinidade (2021) that the COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on the
lifestyle, behaviours, emotions, feelings and educational experiences.
In lifestyle and behaviours, more people experiencing a worsening on
their diet rather than improvement and exercised less. In terms of smoking
most students did not smoke prior to the lockdown. Participants did alter their
smoking behaviour, with an equal number either stopping smoking, or
starting to smoke during the pandemic.
In mental health the level of the five emotions investigated (sadness,
irritability, fatigue, frustration and loneliness) were shown to either slightly
increase or not change in most people. An increase in each emotions was
more common than decrease.
In education the majority of the students agreed with the following
Statements, that they struggle to complete learning outcomes with online
delivery, they are worried that their practical skills will be affected and they
are worried about the impact of covid-19 on their future career.
Saraswathi, et al. 2020 found that the COVID-19 pandemic appeared
to negatively affect the mental health of their students with the prevalence
and levels of anxiety and stress being increased but depression symptoms
remaining unaltered.
Hanbazaza & Wazzan (2021) provide evidence for the negative
Influences of the COVID-19 curfew on health behaviours, including eating
habits, physical activity, and sedentary behaviour.

In general, there was a negative impact on behaviours, lifestyle and

Mental health and virtual education was perceived as necessary in making up
For the loss of face to face experiences. Students mental health and
Educational needs have been affected by the current pandemic.

If the covid-19 vaccine was not invent by the scientist, it will be difficult
for students to study because they will have difficulties in understanding their
lessons because there are no face to face classes and no one can guide and
teach them. If it continues, the children’s academic performance will
decrease. So we’re all blessed that vaccine against COVID-19 virus was
invented because today were all free to go to school to learn with our
teachers and classmates, and it will develop our communication skills and
relationship to each other.
