Problem statement:

There are now several effective vaccines that prevent severe illness or death from Covid-19. Given the many vaccines available and the unreliable rumors about corona vaccines, as well as the fear of many people about the side effects of corona vaccines, we decided to compare the side effects and consequences of different vaccines and encourage people for the vaccinations and also encourage the public to increase their booster dose due to the arrival of new strains of corona such as omicron.

Target groups:

• General population
• Medical students
• Other Students

Beneficiaries:

Objectives:

Informing about 200 medical students about the side effects of Covid-19 vaccines through Goumsa’s Instagram page in March 2022.

• Encouraging about 100 medical students to be safe against Covid-19 through vaccination and booster dose through Goumsa’s Instagram page and also preparing a questionnaire in March 2022.
• Informing at least 200 students about the differences between Covid vaccines and how to choose the right vaccine to prevent Covid-19 infection through an Instagram post on Goumsa’s Instagram page in March 2022.
• Raise audience awareness about comparing vaccines and tips regarding booster dose in the webinar on March 2022.

Indicators of Success:

1. Achieve at least 200 likes and 500 views for each post.
