1.0 Introduction
Currently, there are more than 100 candidates of COVID-19 vaccines under development. About 11 months
after the emergence of the disease, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the use of vaccines
in a mass immunization programme. Phase three clinical trials for vaccines enrolled 73,661 participants. The
clinical trial results showed that these vaccines can protect recipients from a COVID-19 infection by forming
antibodies and providing immunity against a COVID-19 virus. There are also other companies in the race for
vaccine development and in the final stages of trials. It is expected that many vaccines will be ready for
distribution by early or mid-2021. The United Kingdom was among the first countries that have started mass
immunization COVID-19 vaccine. Apart from vaccines that use mRNA as the active substance, other vaccines
use various other types of antigen such as viral vector, attenuated virus and inactivated virus. The use of mRNA
is a new technology for vaccine development, where the vaccine contains messenger RNA instructs cells to
produce a protein that acts as an antigen.
The Malaysian government has procured COVID-19 vaccine through a government-to-government deal
with the Republic of China, direct purchase from pharmaceutical companies and the COVID-19 Global Vaccine
Access(Covax) Facility. With these arrangements, Malaysia is expected to receive its first batch of COVID-19
vaccines to immunise 6.4 million people as early as end of February 2021. We embarked on this study to
determine the knowledge, acceptance and perception of the COVID-19 vaccine among the Malaysian adult
population. The findings from this study will provide data and crucial information for the government to find
strategies to increase public understanding and the uptake of COVID-19 vaccine.

6.0 Discussion
Central tendency are used to estimate "normal" values of a dataset, measures of dispersion are important for
describing the spread of the data, or its variation around a central value. Two distinct samples may have the
same mean or median, but completely different levels of variability, or vice versa. A proper description of a set
of data should include both of these characteristics. There are various methods that can be used to measure the
dispersion of a dataset, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages.
Measures of dispersion play an important role in any data set. These measures go along with the measures of
central tendency and show the variability of our data. Measures of central tendency will show the different ways
that can group our data. They’re good for figuring out how the different variables operate in a specific sample or
group of people. The three basic things that we can get is the median, mean, and range.
Measures of dispersion go hand in hand with the measures of central tendency. They’re also essential to reading
any data set because they show how variable our data is perception of the variability of the data is one of the
basic components of statistical thinking. The way we perceive the variability gives us information on the
dispersion, or spread of the data, in terms of a mean or a median.
Measures of dispersion are important in any statistical study when we’re trying to draw conclusions from data.
This is because they play a direct role on the margin of error our work . The greater the dispersion in a sample,
the more space you’ll need to work within that margin. They can also help you figure out if your data is far
from its central tendency. What that does is show us whether or not our central tendency is actually a good way
to represent the people for our study. This is very helpful when it comes to comparing distributions and
understanding the risks of making certain decisions.

In this study case, we have three method to find is Median , Mode and Mean. Three method that we compare is
answer using manual calculation, formula and graph. There also have two method to calculate Quartile, Decile
and Percentile by using formula and graph.
Diagram 1
Based on the table that we make, at table diagram 1 there have slightly different answer using the formula and
using the graph. Value that has much different is mean when compare with the manual and formula calculation.
We cannot calculate data for mode by using manual calculation because our data value only have one
frequency. We also cant determine mean by using graph. Next, at diagram 2 only data Quartile 4, Decile 7,
Percentile 70 and Percentile 100 is same comparing formula and graph. That difference also because of our
mistake when plot the graph that call human error.
To prevent our human error calculation we need to have steady hands and a sharp point pencil to make our
plotting on the graph more accurate.

NeO is an innovative technology which replaces traditional freeze-dried vaccine pellets in glass vials
with innovative effervescent tablets of vaccine in blister packs. Each tablet contains a freeze-dried
vaccine virus, packaged in a light-weight aluminum blister. Active vaccine ingredients are the same as
the ones used for viral vaccines in glass vials.

7.0 Conclusion
By referring to our graph, there is ups and downs that is caused from:
Page | 22
DBM30033 –ENGINEERING MATHEMATICS 3
Firstly, one factor that make our graph go downside because of misinformation and unsubstantiated rumours
regarding COVID-19 vaccines have been around and repeatedly shared on social media platforms even before
the release of an effective vaccine. The use of mRNA genetic material in several vaccines have been
sensationalized by some, with the false claims that the vaccine can alter human DNA. Additionally, the rapid
development of COVID-19 vaccines has reportedly raised concerns regarding the safety and long term effects,
even among the medical staffs. Findings from studies among healthcare workers (HCWs) are alarming, as a
small percentage of HCWs do not intend to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
Next, according to the VCP, Malaysia ranks high in the Vaccine Confidence Index with 91% of the
population being confident in vaccines. One of the drivers of high vaccine confidence in Malaysia is public
acceptance and trust in public healthcare services and providers. That why our graph it go ups.
This study provides early insight into the Malaysian population’s knowledge, acceptability and perception
regarding COVID-19 vaccines. Knowledge about vaccines was relatively poor, particularly among low
education levels, low income and not living with high-risk groups. The acceptability rate was significantly low
among males, those with chronic diseases and those with low income. Education level of bachelor’s degree and
higher was associated with better acceptance towards COVID-19 vaccine. This finding can help the Ministry of
Health to plan for future efforts to increase vaccine uptake that may eventually lead to herd immunity against
SARS-CoV-2. The efforts should focus on those with insufficient knowledge and low acceptance, particularly
those with chronic diseases and less financially fortunate people.
