Abstract

Objective: This study aoimed to assess STIGMA's effect and knowledge of the COVID-19 vaccine on COVID-19 vaccination.

Methods: The research design is cross-sectionall with consecutive non-random sampling. The method used is a questionnaire-based survey given online. The questionnaire included respondent characteristics, history of COVID-19 vaccination, stigma, and factors that influenced the COVID-19 vaccination. The data were exported from the Google form to Microsoft Excel version 16.57 for cleaning and coding, and analysis with SPSS 25.0. Variables were analyzed using the chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests (95% confidence level and p-value 5%). Correlation using the Spearman test (r is significant if > 0.001) and the odds ratio (OR) of the two variables.

Results: The study was attended by 291 respondents aged 15-59 years, 51.9% worked in the health sector, and 48.1% were the general public. Perception regarding knowledge of COVID-19 shows that 79.7% know and 20.3% don't know. 95.5% of respondents knew about the COVID-19 vaccine program, and the remaining 4.9% did not know. Respondents who had received vaccinations were 97.3%, and 2.7% had not been vaccinated. Factors related to the STIGMA of the COVID-19 vaccine were work in the health sector (p=0.001, r=0.200), knowledge of COVID-19 (p=0.001, r=0.195), and knowledge of the COVID-19 vaccine program (p=0.000, r= 0.221). Factors related to receiving vaccinations were knowing the COVID-19 vaccine program (p=0.000, r=0.574) and the STIGMA of the COVID-19 vaccine (p=0.000, r=0.225)

Conclusion: Implementing the vaccination program will be successful if the community has good knowledge about vaccines and does not have a STIGMA for vaccines.
