Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
In this study, block randomization is used and the size of the blocks is randomly selected (for example, blocks of 8, 6, or 10 that contain an equal number of each group in each block).So that the number of samples assigned to each of the study groups is equal. In this method, the blocks are determined based on the personal characteristics of the staff of Ahwaz Health Centers in the face of Covid 19.Within each block, half of the individuals are considered as intervention groups and half as controls. The main goal of this method is to balance the number of participants in each group.In the intervention group, the MMR vaccine will be given to prevent COVID-19 complications, but in the control group, the vaccine will not be used.
