<![CDATA[The COVID-19 vaccination program in Indonesia experiences various dynamics depending on the socio-cultural conditions of each region, and within this context, dynamics in urban areas are crucial as they represent the acceptance, understanding, and implementation of vaccination within a diverse and multicultural society. This research aims to examine how beliefs, social and economic conditions, and the role of religious institutions influence the urban community's acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccination program scheduled by the central government and implemented by local authorities.
