Abstract
The whole world is facing health challenges due to wide spread of COVID-19 pandemic. To control the spread of COVID-19, the development of its vaccine is the need of hour. Considering the importance of the vaccines, many industries have put their efforts in vaccine development. The higher immunity against the COVID can be achieved by high intake of the vaccines. Therefore, it is important to analysis the people's behaviour and sentiments towards vaccines. Today is the era of social media, where people mostly share their emotions, experience, or opinions about any trending topic in the form of tweets, comments or posts. In this study, we have used the freely available COVID-19 vaccines dataset and analysed the people reactions on the vaccine campaign using artificial intelligence methods. We used TextBlob() function of python and found out the polarity of the tweets. We applied the BERT model and classify the tweets into negative and positive classes based on their polarity values. The classification results show that BERT has achieved maximum values of precision, recall and F score for both positive and negative sentiment classification.Entities:
