Abstract:
This study determined the perception of public safety towards regulating the rollout of COVID-19 vaccine
inoculation among the residents of Bongao. Specifically, it sought to answer the following questions: What is
the profile of the respondents? What are the respondents' perceptions of public safety towards regulating the
rollout of COVID-19 vaccination inoculation in terms of susceptibility to contracting COVID-19, severity,
benefits of COVID-19 vaccination, barriers to COVID-19 vaccination, and cues to action? Is there a
significant difference in the perceptions of public safety towards regulating the rollout of COVID-19
vaccinations? This study utilized a descriptive-quantitative design using a survey method, which was
conducted in the municipality of Bongao. There were sixty respondents in this study coming from government
employees, non-government employees, and students who have not yet taken the COVID-19 vaccine. This
study found out that the respondents were agreed on susceptibility of contracting COVID-19 severity; barriers
of COVID-19 vaccinations; and cues to action while strongly agreed on perceived benefits of COVID-19
vaccinations. The hypothesis stated that “there is no significant difference on the perceptions of public safety
towards regulating the rollout of COVID vaccination is accepted. The researcher concluded that most of the
respondents had higher concerns to public safety towards regulating the rollout of COVID-19 vaccinations
because they believed that severity and susceptibility of contracting COVID-19 are higher. Lastly, there is less
adequate information about the COVID-19 vaccines throughout the municipality enough to convince everyone
to cooperate and undergo vaccinations.
