Mr Mayor as public health officials we are aware of the situation of the disease breakout in Springville.
I have a team of highly specialized researchers to study the spread severity of disease and possibility of rolling out a vaccine.
You and your team re welcome Dr. Ynag. Please indicate how my office can be of any assistance to you.
Public health team, welcome. hear you have a questionnaire for us.
I hope we have all the data they'll need. We are in a crisis.
Thank you Dr. Yes. How many cases do you have in total ? How are they presenting? Do they have any comorbidities? What are their ag groups? How many are in each gender? Are there any deaths yet?
We need to convince them to vaccinate
Our results show that the disease is predominate in the midddle class adults aged 30-65 years old, and those with hypertension being at the highest risk
Quantitative results
I think we should focus our next phase in understanding their thoughts on vaccines
I think we need to encourage vaccination. Vaccines are an efffective measure to reduce the severity of a disease and these work by proudcing anti-bodies to strengthen the immunity and fight diseases.
Chief researcher Dr. Christina Yang meets with mayor to introduce her team and scope of their work
I agree Dr. The data in the first phase of our study showed that we might need to form a vaccine-rollout campaign. The aim will be to teach the community about vaccines
Vaccines?... We all know they are not 100% effective, and we must expect vaccine hesitancy or refusal.
The public health officials meet with the doctors at the local hospital to get medical records as administer a questionnaire.
We need to find out why people are hesitant to vaccinate. People's perceptions are important as they might help the office sell it better to the population.
You know, I can't stop thinking about the data. This disease is affecting our working class. People's livelihoods will be displaced
The public health officials have consolidated and analyzed their data. They are now thinking of next steps.
We will use the primary quantitative data to get our sample.
Yes! We can hold in-depth interviews with the population of anti-vaxxers to get their perceptions.
Qualitative plan
Of course! And possibly host focus groups as they may be likely to feel more comfortable with like minds in the room.
We need to keep the sample size small and manageable. Remember, the office is already using resources to curb the spread.
At lunch break the team discusses vaccination as a following step but will people be as enthusiastic about it as they are?
At their workstations, the public health officials continue to be troubled by this outbreak and its negative effects
The public health officials have decided to use the qualitative research method to gain in depth insights on vaccine hesitation.
