Age, History of Vaccination, and Occupation As the Determining Factors of Higher Acceptance of the COVID-19 Vaccination in Tanah Laut Regency

Abstract

Prevention of spread was important to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic while the vaccine was in the development process. Communities participated in various efforts to prevent transmission by implementing health protocols. There are several determinants that influence the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccination program in Indonesia. This study aims to conduct a quantitative analysis of the most significant determinants that enhance the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccination in the community of Telaga Village, Tanah Laut Regency. This study uses a quantitative analytical observational method with a cross-sectional study design approach. The instrument used is a questionnaire which is distributed directly to the public, where the sampling technique was carried out by accidental (spontaneous) methods. Respondents amounted to 100 people (>18 years old) residing in Telaga Village, Tanah Laut Regency. In this study, univariate analysis was carried out, and bivariate was tested using the Chi-Square statistical test. Binary logistic regression was used to determine the most significant variable that affected the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccination. The results showed that there was no significant relationship between knowledge, occupation, gender, and education with the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccination. However, there was a significant relationship between age, occupation, COVID -19 vaccination history and perception of the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine. Meanwhile, being younger, already vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine, and having an active job are the most significant factors affecting the higher rate of COVID-19 vaccination acceptance in Tanah Laut Regency.
