It is in this context, that the following research induced the researchers to carry out research in the rural communities to understand the knowledge, attitude, and practice of people in the selected geographical locations. Some of the research questions were: Do the people in rural communities show an inclination toward vaccination?Are they aware of the vaccines? What do they feel about vaccination? Whether people in the rural community were vaccinated? Do they have any preference for the vaccines? What do they feel about the different waves of COVID? and so on.
