My Three Literature
The first literature I found is a study that demonstrated the effectiveness of the covid-19 vaccine among covid-positive cases in terms of re-infection in America. According to the article, those who are not vaccinated, but contracted covid-19 previously are 2.34 times at risk of becoming re-infected with covid, compared to those who contracted covid previously and but were vaccinated. The reason why I chose this article and the reason why it validates my problem, is because although the vaccine reduces the risk of hospitalization, death, longer duration of symptoms, and recovery rate, there are people who still contract covid with the vaccine and experience the same effects of those who were not vaccinated. Therefore, I narrowed down my research problem and focused more on the premise that with a sample of only positive cases, the re-infection rate might be higher in unvaccinated cases than vaccinated cases and this article could provide support to that premises (Cavanaugh, et al., 2021).
The second literature I found is a study on why men are more prone to contracting covid-19 compared to women. According to the study, they believe that the biological make-up of men is what contributes to them being more susceptible to covid than women. The reason why I selected this article is that contrary to the article, in Galveston County, which is the population that my capstone is focused on, women are more prone to covid than men according to data that was collected and also demonstrated on their dashboard (Griffith et al., 2020; Galveston County Health District, 2021)
The third literature I found is a study on the effectiveness of the vaccine based on the viral load and transmission rate among breakthrough cases on whether the cases are symptomatic or asymptomatic. I chose this literature, because, according to research, there is a premise that those who are vaccinated have a higher chance of being asymptomatic than symptomatic. However, based on the data in Galveston County, among the breakthrough cases, there is a higher rate of those who were symptomatic compared to asymptomatic (Levine-Tiefenbrun et al., 2021).
