Malaysian Perception on MMR Vaccination Towards Children’s Health

For more than a decade, the adverse effects of the MMR vaccine have been discussed, due to the study that has raised fear among parents worldwide. Even today, some people including Malaysians do not believe in the MMR vaccine. This study aims to identify the perception of all Malaysians on the MMR vaccine toward children’s health. In this study, a cross-sectional study has been used which includes questionnaires as its main data collection method. A total of 108 respondents participated in this research, whereby the respondents answered the questionnaires with Google Docs. Using SPSS software, a more extensive and detailed analysis was performed to determine the descriptive statistics for each survey item. background. As stated in the findings and conclusions, beliefs and income level had little bearing on how Malaysians perceived the MMR vaccine. However, educational background and the influence of the media are both major factors. Therefore, it can be deduced from the ANOVA that this model is suitable. The proposed hypothesis was also significant for educational background and the influence of mass media, but insignificant for beliefs and income level, according to the multiple regression analysis.
