- Prof. Kindly get your team to investigate this.
- Ma! We have been recording increase in number of cases. We suspect an outbreak of new disease called MONKEY POX.
- I will get on it with my public health-researchers, to conduct a quantitative study to confirm the numbers
- Sir, I will suggest we start our investigation with a quantitative study. We can employ case report study and then analysis our nominal data using measures of tendency and dispersion
- Ok sir
- That will be a great way to start. Visit the health facilities to get your data to get the case report study done and analyzed.
- We have been alerted on an outbreak of a new disease that we need to investigate.
- That sounds great. More like what I want to hear. What is your recommendation to tackle the outbreak?
- Vaccination sir! That is the best remedy now to stop further infection. But we have a problem. Not everyone agrees to Vaccination.
- In that case, kindly get your team to investigate the phenomenon in Springville
- Sir, following the case report study analysis, we can confirm an outbreak with the increase in the numerical data.
- Good morning, sir. We conducted a phenomenology study and understood that people have different experiences with vaccination.
- Majority of the sample we asked open-ended question are anti-vaccination. This indicates Vaccine hesitancy in Springville.
- Sounds like a plan sir.
- What are you telling me?
- In that case, conduct a mixed-methods study on vaccine hesitancy in Springville. Get on this immediately so I can report back to the Minister.
- Tell me more.
- Good day sir, our findings from the sequential exploratory study shows misinformation as the reason for the VH in Springville.
- I need to report this to the minister at once, so that an action can be taken. And a mass campaign on vaccination can be initiated and the vaccination process can commence.
- We start off the mixed-methods study with a semi-structured in-depth interview and analyzed using MAXQDA software, this gave us a lead to conduct a survey using online questionnaires, we deduced that the social media has been the major source of information to people rather than health practitioners.
- Why, will people refuse what will help them to stay healthy?
- Misinformation is the reason behind the VH. I recommend the media should help pass on the correct information.
- That will be a constructive solution. Please get on that immediately, media personnel.
- Ma, we can run a campaign on radio, TV and social medial platforms to inform the population about the disease and the benefits of being vaccinated and assure them of no harm to them.
- Minister ma, our study on the new disease, Monkey pox. We recommend a mass roll out of vaccination, to stop the further spread of the disease but we are faced with issue of vaccine hesitancy in Springville from our findings.
