K. Lerik Kupang City, based on the 2020 Good Drug Distribution Method (Cara Distribusi Obat yang Baik or CDOB) standard and the 2021 Ministry of Health regarding Technical Instructions for Vaccination Implementation in Combating the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic. This study used a qualitative, non-experimental observational method, data collection, structured interviews, and documentation.
