Six to seven out of ten office workers predicted that the third outbreak of novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) would end and the fourth outbreak would come, but half of the respondents said they would get vaccination, a study found. In particular, in the 2030 age group, the attitude of “observing and deciding side effects after another person gets hit” was strong rather than getting the vaccine right away. Central photo
Six to seven out of ten office workers predicted that the third epidemic of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) will end and the fourth epidemic will come. Of these, only half of the respondents said they would be vaccinated. In particular, in the 20s and 30s, there was a strong attitude to withhold “I will observe and decide side effects after others are hit.”
This is the result of the’Workplace Corona 19 Awareness Survey’ announced on the 26th by a research team from a Catholic University medical school professor Hye-sun Jeong. The survey was conducted online or in writing to 1103 people from February 8th to March 9th, together with the Catholic University of Korea, the Korea Federation of Health and Safety Organizations, and SmileFact Research, which surveyed workers over 29 years of age at business sites nationwide.
As a result of the survey, 66.8% of the respondents said that the current tertiary outbreak is more serious than the first and second outbreaks. In addition, 66.4% of respondents said that after the third outbreak, the fourth outbreak would come.
The research team analyzed that the situation in which more than 400 confirmed cases occur every day and social distancing measures such as banning groups of 5 or more people continue to prolong this response. It was judged that the fact that fears related to the mutant virus and the temptation of outside activities became stronger as the weather became warmer could be the basis for the 4th outbreak.

When asked about the vaccination intention, only 48.2% of the respondents said it would be’right’. 33.1% answered’I will observe and decide side effects after others are beaten’, 6.3% answered’I will not be right’, and 12.5% answered’I don’t know’.
Vaccination doctors differed according to age. 68.1% of those over 50 answered that they would be’correct’, but only 31.4% of those aged 29 and under and 31.0% of those aged 30 to 39 answered’will be right’. 52.4% of those in their twenties and 45.9% of those in their thirties said,’I will observe and decide on side effects after others are hit.’ The percentage of those who answered’I don’t fit’ was also the highest with 9.9% in their 30s, 8.6% in their 20s, 4.7% in their 40s, and 3.5% in their 50s and older.
Professor Hyejin Jeong said, “Young people have a tendency to trust their health, so they made a decision after seeing other people.” “You have to encourage it.”
61.2% of office workers answered that the stress that Corona 19 gives to their lives is severe. 32.6% of respondents said they experienced livelihood-related disadvantages due to Corona 19. Among them, they were forced to use annual leave (13.9%), unpaid leave (9.4%), and resignation recommendations (2.2%). News 1

Prof. Hye-sun Jeong said, “It is necessary to prepare appropriate compensation measures in case the workers suffer from difficulties in their normal work life due to COVID-19, and as most of them complain of stress on life due to COVID-19, a plan to improve the mental health of workers. Ganggu is also urgent.” He added, “In particular, small workplaces with fewer than 50 employees are not sufficiently quarantined than large-scale workplaces with 300 or more employees, so support measures at the national level must be prepared.”
