Abstract

The corona virus has turned the world upside down for the past two years in today's technological world where nothing is cosmic. Tens of thousands of people are dying and suffering from Corona virus. So, Corona vaccines are being invented and distributed in many countries with the advice of the World Health Organization to save the people from that virus. Corona vaccines have been given in Sri Lanka for the last three months. Although the government is paying more attention to the corona vaccine, people may find themselves in a state of confusion over the physical, psychological and behavioral changes caused by the corona vaccine. Based on this, the study aims to determine the physical, psychological and social / behavioral changes in those who have been vaccinated . In this study, questionnaires were given to 75 rendemly selected candidates from Akkaraipattu area and collected. Initial data were obtained from questionnaires, interviews, observations, and secondary data were obtained from research subdivisions, WHO reports, web articles, and journals. The findings of the study show that although most of those surveyed have indicated that the vaccine is essential, it is feared that it may cause side effects. The study also found physical, psychological and behavioral changes in those who were vaccinated. Most of them have physical changes such as headache, fever, body aches and limb pain. Similarly, it can be seen that psychological changes have taken place in more and more people, in which there have been changes such as fear and apprehension, as well as positive changes with many behavioral changes. Therefore, the study also identified general physical, psychological and behavioral changes in the corona vaccine.
