Abstract

Community readiness to receive the COVID-19 vaccination will determine the government's success in preventing the spread of COVID-19. Community readiness to participate in vaccination is closely related to information on vaccine ingredients (halal) and the positive and negative effects of the COVID-19 vaccine. Several factors related to the communitys readiness to participate in the COVID-19 vaccination, namely: confidence, complacency, constraints, calculation, collective responsibility, compliance, and conspiracy. The aim of this study was to identify the differences in community readiness for COVID-19 vaccination in two sub-districts in Aceh, Indonesia. A comparative study with a retrospective design was used in this study. The sampling was 200 people who had carried out the COVID-19 vaccination for two sub-districts. The samples were obtained by using a purposive sampling method. The data were collected using a standardized questionnaire, the 7C Vaccination Readiness Scale Questionnaire. The Mann-Whitney u-test revealed that, generally, the community readiness in two sub-districts to participate in COVID-19 vaccination was different (p=0.003). The sub-scales of community readiness in COVID-19 vaccination of complacency (p=0.003), constraints (p=0.000), calculation (p=0.012), and collective responsibility (p=0.000) showed significant differences. However, no difference in readiness on confidence (p=0.053), compliance (p=0.051), and conspiracy (p=0.419). The results of this study found sociodemographic factors such as religion and belief, highest education level, support systems, and information about the COVID-19 vaccination could be related to the research findings.

Abstract

To mitigate COVID-19 infections and safeguard the community against infection risks, the Indonesian government initiated a national COVID-19 vaccination program. It was observed that the community exhibited a mix of acceptance and reluctance toward the vaccination program due to varying information disseminated through multiple media sources, particularly concerning the issue of halal vaccines and their potential adverse effects. The decision to undergo COVID-19 vaccination is closely tied to the community's confidence in the vaccine's efficacy. Vaccine hesitancy poses a significant obstacle in the battle against the COVID-19 pandemic. Several factors contributing to the community's trust in the vaccine encompass shared norms and values, willingness to endorse, and perceived efficacy. The objective of this study was to identify the relationship between the community's trust in the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine and their attitudes toward receiving vaccinations in the region of Banda Aceh. To achieve this, a correlational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted. The study's sample consisted of the community residing in the Kuta Alam sub-district of Banda Aceh, totalling 266 participants. Data collection was facilitated through the administration of the "Community Trust in the COVID-19 Vaccine Questionnaire" and the "Community Attitudes Toward Receiving Vaccinations Questionnaire." The collected data underwent analysis utilizing Spearman's rank test. The study's findings demonstrated a significant relationship between the community's trust in the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine (p = 0.000) and various dimensions, including shared norms and values (p = 0.000), willingness to endorse (p = 0.000), and perceived efficacy (p = 0.000), all of which exhibited a strong correlation with attitudes toward receiving vaccination. Considering these results, it is crucial to involve healthcare professionals and governmental entities in initiatives aimed at promoting the health benefits and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine. These efforts should prioritize the enhancement of community trust and the broader acceptance of vaccination.
