Abstract

The researchers examined the access to the COVID-19 vaccine among 32 females in Multan, Punjab, Pakistan. The aim of the study is to access the independence of decision-making among female participants to vaccinate themselves against the COVID-19. Participants of the study belong to Multan, a city of Southern Punjab. The researchers adopt a qualitative research design, using in-depth interviews, repeated open-ended questions, and local languages. Among general conclusions of this study are, female dependence on male members to get the vaccination, limited control on deciding the need for vaccination, and patriarchal decision to vaccinate the family. The aim of the researchers is to contribute toward an effective COVID-19 vaccination campaign by minimizing discrimination against women in accessing the vaccine.
