There were many equations asked by the questionnaire that were validated from previous studies. Result: There was a total of 131 participants who received the questionnaire from the researcher from pharmacists. Conclusion: The study's participants knew enough about coronaviruses and their vaccination.

Enough information concerning the immunizations must be made available. To increase public acceptance of vaccines and decrease reluctance, ongoing training and education are required.
