Background: The topic of vaccination in the COVID-19 pandemic has become a sensitive topic in Ghana. Vaccination and Naturopathy are comparable in terms of public health principles, and Naturopathic students study public health as a field. Many people in Ghana claim to be Naturopathic Doctors, although they disagree with Naturopathy's endorsement of public health essentials such as vaccination. Are immunizations naturopathic as well?
This case study
examines the knowledge and awareness of vaccinations in Naturopathic practise
among Ghanaian Naturopathic Medical Students.
Methods: A
qualitative technique was employed to obtain primary data from respondents via
a written questionnaire in this study. The survey comprised of ten (10) persons
who were asked a series of questions. Respondents for this study were
naturopathic medical students from Ghana's Nyarkotey College of Holistic
Medicine.
Vaccines are a part
of the Naturopathic profession, according to the Naturopathic medical students,
and are consistent with Naturopathic beliefs. Incredibly, only one of the ten
respondents in Ghana received the COVID-19 vaccine. The others, on the other
hand, have expressed an interest in obtaining the vaccination but are awaiting
the outcome of the side effects before making a final decision.
