Evaluating the Health Effects of COVID-19 Vaccination on the Population of East Punjab (India): A Comprehensive Survey

Abstract

The impressive and innovative efforts of scientists worldwide have played a pivotal role in shaping the development and production of COVID-19 vaccines, widely acknowledged as vital resources for pandemic control. The primary aim of this investigation was to identify the prevailing effects linked to these vaccines, particularly considering their implications for human well-being. An online survey was conducted in various cities in India, and a trial version of Qualtrics CoreXM software was implemented to prototype 22 questionnaires. After vaccination, respondents reported health changes: skin (26.9%), eye (22.3%), stomach issues (22.8%), respiratory (12.5%), and mental health (2.9%). Among 1,047 participants, 8.9% had intercourse, 11.3% men, 7.3% women. 17.9% were unsure; 19.7% were men, 13.7% were women, and 37.5% were "others". A majority (73.3%) reported no sexual experiences: 68.9% men, 78.8% women, and 62.5% "others". This study offers an extensive perspective on the vaccination situation in the northern region of India. It delves into the intricate demographic factors influencing vaccine acceptance and understanding potential side effects. These discoveries contribute substantially to the ongoing conversation regarding the COVID-19 vaccination and its various impacts on public health and societal welfare.
