Abstract
Prior research supports the use of Covid-19 vaccination prior to the pandemic for people globally, resulting in 5.55 million death rates and over 331 million cases suffering from the virus. Despite the resources for Covid-19 there are poor uses of Covid vaccine even in advanced countries such as the United States. The objective was to persuade the audience with lack of knowledge regarding the Covid Vaccine. Data will be collected through the survey from high school students, which contains their thoughts regarding the vaccine whether they took the vaccine or not. It also provides a perspective on the effects of Covid and Covid vaccine specially people with low income households. Patients who were obligated to get vaccinated or suffer from the virus, how much impact it had on their personal life such as work, underpayment, unemployment, technology shortage, lack of resources, and healthcare problems. Through a zoom listening session, we were able to gather high school students and officials who were affected by the Covid Pandemic. We were able to ask them questions such as 1.) In what ways did this pandemic affect their household? 2.) What kind of resources were they able to get hold on? 3.) Do they trust the vaccine? Why or why not etc.The result of this project has yet to be completely collected and analyzed, but the result will identify possible outcomes that lead to people having positive and negative thoughts regarding the Covid Vaccine, more specifically it will show the impacts Covid-19 had on households with minimum income.
