Abstract

The mass media are often accused of being a source of spreading false news (hoax). This often happens especially in new media types (the internet). When the media or individuals put aside the truth of the news to catch up with the speed of news publication or create sensational titles to attract visitors when the reality is completely different. This study is based on the theory of social judgment (Social Judgment Theory), which is part of communication theory that describes and describes how individuals assess messages that begin when reading, listening or responding to a message. This research is a qualitative research that is library research that uses books and other literatures as the main object in Indonesian society. One way to deal with hoaxes, especially in terms of receiving the Covid-19 vaccine, is media literacy. There are seven skills needed to achieve critical awareness of media, including; Ability to analyze, evaluate, group (grouping), message induction, message deduction, message synthesis and make accurate descriptions. The high wave of Covid-19 vaccine hoaxes requires the awareness of the Indonesian people to be observant in filtering information so as to provide social change in vaccination behavior.

Abstract

During the Covid-19 pandemic, vaccine hesitancy has been a major problem not only in the world but also in Indonesia. This makes it difficult for the Government of Indonesia to carry out the herd immunity against the Covid-19 virus. In this study, we want to investigate whether the health belief model (HBM) and trust in the media have a significant effect on Covid-19 vaccination behavior. We use a quantitative approach which is conducted by survey method. Generation Y and Z within Muslim communities in Bekasi City are the subject and locus of the research, respectively. We obtain the primary data by distributing questionnaires to 242 respondents through non-probability sampling technique. We found that three of the five dimensions of the Health Belief Model, namely: (1). perceived vulnerabilities; (2). perceived benefits; and (3). perceived barriers, had a significant effect on the behavior of the Covid-19 vaccination. Meanwhile, trust in the media, which includes trust in traditional media and new media, also has a significant effect on the Covid-19 vaccination behavior of generation Y and Z Muslim communities in Bekasi City.
