| Abstract: |
The COVID-19 epidemic has expanded globally and remains a significant issue in every country. Vaccines continue to attract attention from countries worldwide, whether for preventing the spread of COVID-19 or mitigating the severity of the disease. This study has been classified as a correlation study aimed at investigating the COVID-19 vaccine landscape, particularly focusing on the relationship between the number of vaccine recipients and the incidence of COVID-19 cases. Secondary data were obtained by the researchers from departments and organizations affiliated with the Ministry of Public Health. The survey encompassed six primary tourist cities situated in major urban areas of Thailand. The researchers utilized data pertaining to the fifth wave of outbreaks (occurring within a 14-day cycle) across six provinces, alongside data on the number of individuals who received COVID-19 vaccinations. To analyze the data in this study, statistical methods including frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, correlation, and Geographic Information System (GIS) were employed. The findings revealed that receiving at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine was significantly correlated with the prevalence rate of COVID-19 per 100,000 individuals at a significance level of 0.05 (R2 = 0.82). Furthermore, at a significance level of 0.05, full vaccination against COVID-19 was significantly associated with the prevalence rate of COVID-19 per 100,000 individuals, showing a correlation coefficient of 0.829 in the same direction. Additionally, at a significance level of 0.01, the number of COVID-19 cases within a 14-day period exhibited a strong correlation with the trend of COVID-19 incidence, which decreased over approximately 14 days, indicating an inverse relationship (R2 = -0.928). Lastly, at a significance level of 0.05, the prevalence rate of COVID-19 per 100,000 individuals was significantly correlated with the trend of COVID-19 incidence, which decreased over approximately 14 days, again demonstrating an inverse relationship (R2 = -0.812).
