Abstract

The objective of the study is to analyze the role of government, social media, and medical specialists toward Covid-19 vaccination and to trace the response of the general public towards Covid-19 vaccination in the Bahawalpur district during the Pandemic period (June 2021). For this purpose, primary data from 445 households have been collected from people of different age groups having different educational & professional backgrounds. The Crosstab method has been utilized to analyze the response into percentages. The findings of the study show that the general public including youngsters (19-29 years of age) and the middle age group (30-59 years) are in favor to be vaccinated and they are agreed with the point that Vaccination may help them to be protected. The public clearly rejected the rumors like death after 2 years or vaccination is haram. The community of Bahawalpur appreciated and acknowledged the policies of the Government of Pakistan regarding Social Distancing, enforcement of SOPs during the Covid-19 period, and the Ehsas program relief package provided to the poor. Moreover, the contribution of Medical Specialists/ Pharmaceutical Researchers cannot be denied as they invented new and appropriate medicines/vaccines for the treatment of Covid-19 disease.
