Overcome COVID-19 through Collaboration between Components in Indonesia
Abstract
Vaccination against Covid-19 is one of the most important steps adopted by the government to limit the spread of the virus in the community by establishing population immunity. According to Ministry of Health data, Covid-19 vaccination coverage has reached 92% of the population until 2023; however, there are still various obstacles to overcome in its implementation, ranging from the initial feasibility trials to the distribution and acceptance of the Covid-19 vaccine at various levels of society. These obstacles have resulted in varying degrees of success in receiving the Covid-19 vaccination in various countries and provinces around the world, including Indonesia. This study aims to find out how successful the response to a pandemic is through establishing population immunity and involving all components of the government, TNI/Polri, agencies, and the community/NGOs in handling the pandemic in the implementation and acceptance of the Covid-19 vaccine in Indonesia since it was first tested and distributed. This research uses the literature review methodology. Researchers analyzed various articles with the keywords “factors affecting Covid-19 vaccine acceptance,” “collaboration in Covid-19 vaccine,” “TNI role in Covid-19 vaccine,” and “government role in Covid-19 vaccine” from various international open sources such as Elsevier, MDPI, ScienceDirect, Frontiers, Tandfonline, and Google Scholar. Articles relevant to the theme and research objectives were selected, analyzed, and grouped based on the researcher’s requirements. The findings of the literature review show that the roles of and collaboration between public components, including the government, the Indonesian National Police, agencies, and the community, have an impact on the success of the Covid-19 vaccination in Indonesia. The government’s role is to establish communications and campaigns to boost public confidence in the benefits of the Covid-19 vaccine. Furthermore, the role of the TNI/Polri is to ensure the implementation of disaster management in a planned, integrated, coordinated, and comprehensive manner, while the role of agencies/NGOs is to encourage advocacy activities and distribution networks for receiving the Covid-19 vaccine. Each component plays a role that positively influences vaccination acceptance in the community, so collaboration between components is required for the success of the Covid-19 vaccine activity in Indonesia.
