Hesitancy of Covid-19 Vaccination among Teenagers and Young Adults


Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It is a global pandemic and has led to serious illness and death among all ages and even in younger adults who are otherwise healthy. The best way to prevent and slow down the transmission of this deadly disease is to get vaccinated. As per the CDC teenagers and young adults between the ages of 12 to 24 have the lowest vaccination rate among those eligible to receive a COVID vaccine. We did a survey-based study among high school and college students to find out the reasons for the reluctance of Covid 19 vaccination

Covid-19 is a global health pandemic and has caused almost 5.5 million deaths as of January 2022.1 The USA experienced the highest Covid- 19 associated mortality among the world countries. COVID-19 vaccinations played a crucial role in flattening out the number of cases and deaths. Currently, Vaccines from PfizerBioNTech, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson are being administered in the United States. These vaccines have received emergency use authorization for adults and can also be given to kids five and older. As of January 2022, only 53% of the population from ages 12 -17 years and 59% from ages 18-24 years are fully vaccinated. As the Omicron variant has quickly spread around the U.S, the lower reported vaccination rates and intent to get vaccination especially among younger Americans is very concerning. We did a survey to know the reasons why younger people are still hesitant to vaccines even a year after they became available. A survey-based research study was conducted; Institutional Review Board approval was not required for this study since it was anonymous and survey-based, and subjects were not identifiable by their answers. Approximately 214 students participated in the survey. The survey is conducted through google forms and printed forms. All the students who participated in the survey were high school or in college during the 2021-2022 school year. They were surveyed regarding whether they were vaccinated by the Coronavirus Vaccine or not. Unvaccinated people were given extra questions to gain insight into the reasoning of the respondent for not taking the vaccine.

 Chemo stratigraphic Profile of a Reservoir in Well “X” of Field “Y” Offshore Southern Gabon - Stephy Publishers In a bid to evaluate the elemental and mineralogical content of reservoir samples from the “X” well in the “Y” oil field offshore Southern Gabon, analyses were performed using XRD and XRF. The log view profile of the result inferred that Na, Mg, and Calcite were absent in the shallower series of the reservoir sandstones studied, this observation implies that they are soluble ions that had eroded and refer to warm and humid paleoclimate and a depositional environment that is arid, which corresponds to the continental crust as their source. The plot of Ti and FeO+Mg discriminate the deeper series of the reservoir sandstone samples from the shallower samples. The lower series showed heavier values which implies their origin from Oceanic Crust. These are also the pre-salt facies while the shallower series were more of continental origin and represent the post-salt facies. https:

 Resilience, Risk-Taking Behavior and Aggression among Female Volleyball Players – a Preliminary Study The aim of the current study is to investigate the level of risk-taking behavior, resilience and aggression in female volleyball players and the link between these psychological variables and coach’s performance ranking. A Romanian volleyball team ranked 7th out of 11 in the A1 league in the national championship (2022-2023 period) participated at the study. The Romanian adaptation of the Brief Resilience Scale, The Romanian adaptation of Makarowski’s Stimulating and Instrumental Risk Questionnaire, The Romanian adaptation of Makarowski's Aggression Questionnaire and Delphi method (evaluation of female volleyball players by coaches) were used. Analysis of the results reveals that athletes have a low level of perseverance (Go-Ahead factor), a low level of Foul play and a moderate to low level of assertiveness.
