Anxiety among the COVID-19 positive is one of the concerns of nurses because they are the one who are caring and dealing with those infected patients.

Immunization saves lives, avoids diseases, and lowers both direct and indirect medical expenditures. Vaccinations continue to protect people of all ages against additional diseases as new vaccines are created and tested.

To achieve this, the researchers made used of descriptive method of research through the use of a survey questionnaire in gathering the data needed. The result showed in Immunization that NDP nurses setting a schedule for patients going to the RHU for the EPI, got the highest mean among the different items with an interpretation of “Very Satisfied”. RHU nurses instructing mothers to provide Paracetamol for PRN use got the lowest level of satisfaction from their patients with an interpretation of “Unsatisfied”. The result showed in surveillance and monitoring that Nurses being respectful and understanding got an interpretation of “Very Satisfied” and Other matters regarding the surveillance and monitoring of patient got an average rating with the exception of nurses suggesting plans for achieving the health goals of the patient with an interpretation of “Unsatisfied”.
