Abstract:
This study explored the perspectives of senior citizens on COVID-19 vaccination. This study used a Case study design to explore the perceptions of senior citizens on Covid -19 Vaccination. The researchers interviewed fifteen senior citizens in Pagadian City. All of them have taken the vaccination against Covid-19. The result showed that the senior citizens perceived Covid 19 Vaccination as a dangerous substance and a preventive measure against the virus. In addition, the findings also revealed that the perceptions influence their decision to get vaccinated. Some strengthened their decision, while others experienced hesitancy and clarified their ambiguity. Furthermore, the participants shared significant experiences after vaccination, such as the Prioritization of Senior citizens and Proper management of health conditions.
