Abstract
India reported its first COVID-19 case on January 30, 2020, with 332,424 cases by June 15, 2020, including 169,798 recoveries and 9,520 deaths. By June 3, India had the highest infection rate in Asia and a case fatality rate of 2.80%, lower than the global average of 6.13%. Vaccination has proven to be safe and effective in reducing severe illness and death, with the World Health Organization noting that unvaccinated individuals face a mortality risk at least ten times higher. Adequate vaccine knowledge increases public trust and enhances understanding of its benefits in curbing COVID-19.

Objectives of the study
- Toassesstheknowledgeregardingcovid-19 vaccine and its importance among Rural population.
- To assess the effectiveness of teaching programme on covid-19 vaccine knowledge regarding covid-19 vaccine and its importance among Rural population.
- To find out the association between pre-test knowledge score on Covid-19 vaccine and its importance with their selected Demographic variables.
Assumptions
- The rural population may have minimalknowledgeregardingCovid-19 vaccine and its importance.
- Individual teaching programme may provide an opportunity for learning and understanding regarding covid-19 vaccine and its importance.
H1: There will be significant difference between the mean pre-test and mean post-test knowledge scores regarding covid-19 vaccine and its importance.
H2: There will be a significant association between pre-test knowledge regardingcovid-19vaccineand its importance with their selected demographic variables.
Methodology
A six-week study was conducted to assess the knowledge of the rural population regarding the COVID-19 vaccine and its importance. A structured knowledge questionnaire was used for pre-test assessment, followed by a planned teaching program. On the seventh day, a post-test showed a significant improvement in knowledge, with the mean score increasing from 17.8 (52.41%) to 28.17 (84.50%). The t-value of 12.722 indicated statistical significance at the 0.05 level. Chi-square analysis revealed significant associations between knowledge scores and demographic factors like gender, religion, education, and information sources. The results confirm the effectiveness of the intervention.
