INTRODUCTION

In this generation we are now facing a crisis situation a kind of flu that can immediately
spread. Implementation a forced lockdown in a certain place. In December 2019, an outbreak of
pneumonia of unknown origin was reported in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. This kind of flu is
called Corona Virus Disease 2019( COVID-19). It is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-
Cov-2 virus. Most people who fall sick with COVID-19 will experience mild to moderate
symptoms and recover without a special treatment. In March 2020, began to characterize it as a
pandemic in order to emphasize the gravity of the situation and urge all countries to take action
in detecting infection and preventing spread (Guner, et al. 2020). The vaccines are Pfizer,
Moderna, Sinovac, Astrazeneca, Janssen and Sputnik V. But there’s a lot of people who still
afraid to take a vaccine for many reasons. This study shows that what are the effects of the
people who taken the covid-19 vvaccines. Many people are still afraid to take a vaccine for the
protection of virus. People all over the world have serious worries about the approved vaccines
because many people have a history of having a serious allergic reaction to a certain food,
medication, or vaccine (Meo, et. Al, 2021). And also, there are also the Half-truths, speculative
assumptions, and deliberate disinformation based on conspiracy theories all fall under the
category of inaccurate information about the effects of vaccination (Rief 2021), and this is the
reason why other people will not take the vaccine because of the misinformation.

The participants' demographic information, medical anamneses, COVID-19 related

anamneses, and side effects of the research that were general, oral, and skin – related were all
covered via a validated questionnaire with multiple-choice. The results show that the most often
reported side effects were injection site pain, weariness, headache, muscle soreness, and chills
(Riad, et. Al, 2021). There are lots of studies that are being conducted by the other researchers
about the effects of vaccination to Teens, Adults and Seniors. Riad, et. Al (2021) examines the
results that the most often reported side effects were injection site pain, weariness, headache,
muscle soreness, and chills. Also, the study of Beatty, et. Al (2022) randomized clinical trials of
COVID - 19 vaccines, injection site events (such as pain, redness, swelling) and systemic
effects (such as fatigue, headaches, muscle or joint pain) were reported as adverse reactions,
along with a few serious adverse events Rief (2021).

More adverse occurrences are reported by those who are exposed to bad information
about medications in the media, which increases and supports other people's worries. Sprent &
King (2021) studied the effects of covid 19 vaccine Although SARS-CoV-2 vaccination side
effects are frequently concerning, they could simply be temporary synthesis of type interferons,
a typical immune response to pathogen interaction. However, this study aims to determine what
are the effects of vaccination to teenagers, adults and senior citizen in Gata Daku, Clarin. In
order to answer these problems, this study aims to determine the effects of vaccination to
teenagers, adults and senior citizens. The study aims to determine what are the side effects of
the vaccine in the bodies of individual, and also the hesitancy of the covid 19 vaccines.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter presents the different studies related to the effects of vaccination. The chapter
also determine the effects of the vaccination to Teenagers, adults and senior citizen in Gata
Daku.

Saeed, et. Al (2021) side effects post first vaccine dose of normal injection site pain, fatigue
and headache were more common in participants aged ≤49 years versus >49 years, while pain
at the vaccination site, fatigue, lethargy, headache and tenderness were the most common side
effects post second dose in both groups. All side effects for both doses were more prevalent
among participants aged ≤49 years. Side effects were more common in females compared with
males for both doses. The most common reason for being unwilling to take the COVID-19
vaccine was that vaccines are not eeeffective.

The public's decision to get vaccinated is heavily influenced by the adverse reactions to the
COVID19 coronavirus vaccine. In order to actively evaluate the safety and efficacy of COVID1
9 vaccinations internationally, this research has been developed. The target population groups
were tested for the short-term side effects of the COVID-19 vaccinations using a multi-
country, three-phase study that included a cross-
sectional survey. The effects of the booster doses will be monitored in the second phase, and th
e long-term effectiveness and safety will be examined in the third phase (Riad, et. Al, 2021).

Participants reported the vaccines' reactogenicity, which included pain, redness, urticaria, a
nd swelling at the injection site. Vaccine side effects included fatigue,body pain, headaches, mu
scle pain, fever, and gastrointestinal side effects. Among the unusual signs and symptoms repor
ted by the participants were swelling and a severe allergic reaction of the eyelids, severe hypote
nsion, generalized body aches, shortness of breath, weakness and numbness on the injected ar
m, acute hyperglycemia, severe chest pain, and fever higher than 39°C (Aga,et. Al, 2021).

Klugar, et. Al (2021) also says that receiving either mRNA-based or viral vector-
based vaccines, adverse effects were more likely in females and younger age groups. The disp
arities between genders and ages call for more thorough research and consistent approach.
Even if fully immunized, people who have had a verified significant exposure to severe acute res
piratory syndrome still run the risk of contracting the disease (Gazit, et. Al 2022).

METHODOLOGY

Through the use of a variety of methods to collect data, interpret the data, and draw
conclusion about the research data. Evaluation of the items to be gathered in order to complete
the precise data is much more important when conducting a survey or interview. In order to
complete a survey questionnaire, our respondents must be asked a few questions. Via a face to

face interview or survey questions, and to monitor respondents' responses, so that responses
can be collected.

That will result in the collection of all data and responses in the information's output. Compling,
allowing us to summarize each and every response's data.

Research design

The study will utilize a quantitative research design. Quantitative research design will be
used in computing the amount of the vaccination to teenagers, adults, and senior citizens in
Gata Daku, Clarin Misamis Occidental as well as the common vaccinated teenagers, adults,
and senior citizens in Gata Daku. In addition, this design will be used in computing the numbers
of people in Gata Daku that have experienced in vaccine and by computing and comparing on
which group has the highest number of individuals that undergone to vaccination.
