INTRODUCTION
Covid-19 has brought about a severe situation in the entire world where there are certain
consequences that are picturised as well as indicated. The communication with respect to
establishing the standards of vaccination has an overwhelming response and there has been a
negotiation that are pertaining with respect to its severity. The report emphasizes over the
organisational communication as well as the barriers are falling in regard to the vaccination
policies as well as the plants and the identifiable measures that are actually influential measures
of the vaccination plan. The planning that is associated with government as well as the
management of these barriers is indicated in this report.
TASK 2- PROJECT 2
THEORIES FOR ORGANIZATIONAL COMMUNICATION
The theories of organisational communication are necessary in order to bring forth and
Amendment that is necessary to be incorporated by people in order to get aware of the need of
vaccination. There are several theories that are put forth some of which are as follows:
Bureaucracy
The Bureaucracy theory deals with the Amendment that will bring forth the right amount of
requirements which will have to be emphasized upon. These amendments will have to be
implemented at any cost such that the significant vaccination policies will therefore be taken care
and can also be prioritised. It is considered to be one of the important parts of organisation
communication theory. This year we usually highlight the fact that the skills are required in order
to bring about an establishment towards the explanation as well as to implement the plans that
are put forth with respect to the significant vaccination policies. In order to bring about a proper
awareness in the midst of people the different organisational policies will incorporate
Bureaucracy theory in order to educate people with respect to the importance of getting
vaccinated. This particular theory is often seen in various countries which is followed by an
action plan to amend.
Acceptance theory of authority
The acceptance theory particularly takes the responsibility of dealing with circumstances of
getting vaccinated. These organisational responsibilities that accept and theory usually deals with
will focus upon people as well as their agreement over their need of getting vaccinated. This
theory particularly stresses over the fact that the authorities that are in charge of organisational

policies are entirely responsible for bringing about an awareness regarding the uses of getting
vaccinated. There is a need of people’s agreement in order to make sure that the plans are getting
implemented with respect to understanding the severity of covid-19. This theory will not move
ahead with forceful implementation but with the acceptance of people and that would not lead to
any problems to arise.
General systems theory
The general systems theory will bring in process that will have to be highlighted and will also
have to be dealing with the necessary implementation that will let people put aside the negligent
measures which are ancestral. This particular theory derives an action plan that includes
processes which are necessary for the implementation process. In this particular theory people
who are not into getting vaccinated will have to give a clear explanation about the negligence.
While incorporating this theory it is also a necessity to bring about an action plan that will focus
upon all the related factors to implement action plan.
BARRIERS OF COMMUNICATION PREVENTING PEOPLE GETTING
THE VACCINE
The barriers of communication are unnecessarily the ones that are not letting people decide over
the need for vaccination. There are several barriers of this kind where people will have to
overcome some of which are as follows:
Physical barrier
The physical barrier is mostly faced by the government. In order to make sure that the
organisations are being able to face the physical barriers it will first have to increase the number
of vaccination centres that were eventually arranged as a part of overcoming these physical
barriers. There has also been a rapid pace of vaccination that will help people to overcome the
severity of Covid-19 and therefore the organisations will have to inhibit challenges in order to
arrange for the required amendments.
Information barrier
The major threat for the organisation entirely lies in the awareness of people. The consequences
of Covid-19 are made visible enough such that people can get to understand the requirement and
will not negotiate over the precautions that they will have to take. The information that is in
regard to bring about an awareness in people will have to be provided by the institutions to make
sure that they are ready to get vaccinated.

Emotional barrier
There are certain adverse effects that are being faced by people with respect to vaccination that
would often leave them in vain. This emotional state of mind will not be able to deal with the
standard of vaccination as well as the conditions they will have to undergo in order to let go of
the risk that is in the midst of vaccination. The emotional barriers will often leave people where
the variability in their decision-making and that my to constantly bring about the risk of not
getting vaccinated.
Attitudinal barrier
The attitudinal barriers are the prospect of negative behaviours that are portrayed by people in
order to take the charge of vaccination an entirely different way. This is a challenge for the
organisation in order to make people understand the importance of getting vaccinated and that
might sometimes mislead people in a wrong way. The negative attitudes which are often the
attitudinal barriers will have to be overcome with respect to an ideology as well as the revolution
of new perspectives that are valued.
Cultural barrier
The target audience for vaccination will often get affected by the cultural implications that will
fall in regard to getting vaccinated. There are certain core beliefs that are belonging to a
particular group or demographic and therefore this will contribute for being a barrier in
efficiently moving ahead in terms of getting vaccinated. By bringing about a proper realisation
with the fact that vaccination is essential for every demographic as well as the group the
organisation will have to spread awareness in terms of making people leave behind their
hesitations in terms of cultural differences that will fall in regard to vaccination.
several government or strategies are being designed in order to make sure that these barriers can
overcome and also can increase the implication of understanding the importance of vaccination.
for this the government will have to plan over bring about the consequences into existence as
well as their establishments in terms of making people aware of the property as well as the
increase in the information that is falling amidst of vaccination.
GOVERNMENT STRATEGIES TO OVERCOME THESE BARRIERS
Rapidity of vaccination plan
The rapidity of vaccination plan is how far it is being prioritised in the context of people that
they will move ahead in terms of gaining a larger face of orientation in order to arrange their

sessions to get the best out of the lot from the vaccination plans. For this the government will
have to make it compulsory in order to make sure that the vaccination schedule is being derived
for every person of the society that will help them to get benefited from this schedule. By making
it compulsory one can easily and sure to bring about a positive spectra as well as the urge to get
into vaccination schedule. There are several beneficial prospects that are put forth with respect to
this where the extravagant situations that are pertaining in the world can therefore be withheld.
Spreading awareness
Spreading awareness is important in order to make sure that people are aware of the seriousness
of the situation and I can get ahead with their schedule to get vaccinated. This awareness will
have to be such that it will have to lead people towards gaining knowledge about how far it can
be beneficial for them to survive. The societal implications as well as regional believes are
making people wonder about and also fall into negotiations regarding the prospects of
vaccination and they are not being able to take the decision. For this the government will have to
conduct training programs that will help them to understand the initiation that is a put forth with
respect to vaccination. It is not just the task to accomplish but it is one of the beneficial means of
letting people be aware of the things that are going to happen in future. The organisations in the
state that will have to go in the midst of governments and will have to arrange these campaigns
are the part of positive orientation that will help them to deal with the cultural barriers and
extravagant situations that are pertaining in the society.
CONCLUSION
The report concludes upon identifying the aspects that are in relation to the organisational
communication as well as the general theory is that a picture is a part of covid-19 and its
vaccination policies. Through this report one can easily understand the different theories that are
put forth into organisational communication as well as the evaluation of barriers that are
pertaining with respect to communication. The different negotiations that are a part of getting
vaccinated are being discussed in this report. The government strategies that are acting as barrier
and for this can be eradicated with respect to different strategic orientation is being discussed in
this report.
