COVID-19 is a pandemic situation in which people suffer from the SARS-COV virus. Most of the people this fall are sick as a result of COVID-19 due to which the people suffer from mild to severe symptoms and recover without having special treatment. However, people suffering from severe symptoms have to require special treatment and medication. For this purpose, vaccinations had been introduced to prevent COVID-19. However, several risks had been associated with the vaccination for COVID-19. There exist several risks and threats associated with vaccination. The purpose of this paper is to identify the COVID-19 vaccination risks among people in Norway and Pakistan.

This research study attempts to highlight the risks identified by Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) while providing COVID-19 vaccination. This study adopts a qualitative research design in which a total of 20 interviews have been conducted with HCPs. A total of 10 interviews from Pakistan and 10 interviews from Norway have been conducted. The research has indicated that a total of several causalities and motivational conversations with HCPs are the motivations for people to take the COVID-19 vaccination. However, the myths and unavailability of reality and truth are the risks faced by people in Pakistan. HCPs from Norway have indicated that the willingness of the patients and support from family members are motivations for the encouragement of people to take vaccines in Norway. However, the risk-seeking attitude of people is influenced by the scare of side effects and negative media reports, and lack of trust in the vaccines. Similarly, a research study should also be carried out by following a longitudinal design by determining the risk-seeking attitude of people before and after taking the COVID-19 vaccination.
