| Abstract: | Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a novel enveloped beta Corona virus of the ‘CORONAVIRIDAE’ family. To reduce the spread and improve vaccination acceptance, it is essential that measures are taken to ensure the public is well-informed on how the virus spreads, how preventive measures help and the significance of taking vaccination. Objectives: The main objective of the study was to assess the effect of clinical pharmacists’ intervention on the Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) of youth on COVID-19. The other objective of the study was to assess their attitude towards COVID-19 vaccination. Materials and Methods: This was an observational-interventional study. The subjects’ demographic details and responses were collected using a standardized questionnaire. The collected data was entered in Microsoft Excel and appropriate descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was performed. Results: The association between the pre and the post KAP scores were statistically analyzed using the paired t test. The results showed statistical significance (p = 0.001; p value < 0.05) in the scores of subjects after educational intervention. The attitude of the youth towards COVID-19 vaccination was analyzed using descriptive statistics which showed that majority of the subjects had a positive attitude towards vaccination but most of the subjects (73%) were concerned about the serious side effects of the vaccine. Conclusion: In conclusion, educational interventions and public health education programs can enhance knowledge, attitude, and establish healthier behaviours to protect oneself and others in the event of a healthcare emergency such as a pandemic. |
