An analysis of Corona Virus Disease (Covid-19) vaccine acceptance in Gowa Regency

Abstract

One of the indicators of vaccination success as an effort to overcome COVID-19 can be seen from how many people participate. This study aims to analyze the acceptance of OVID-19 vaccine using Indonesian SARS-CoV-2 seropravalence survey data. This study was an analytic observational study with cross sectional study design. The total number of samples was 847 samples. Data collection technique used purposive sampling. The data used was the SARS-CoV-2 seropravalence survey data. Data analysis used STATA program 14.0 version with multiple logistic regression. The differences were found in vaccine acceptance based on occupation (p<0.001). However, it was not with age, gender, knowledge, attitudes, support from healthcare workers and family support. The results of the multivariate analysis showed that occupation (p<0.001), gender (p=0.001) and age (p=0.024) were variables that related to COVID-19 Vaccine Acceptance. Occupation is a variable that related to reasons for COVID-19 vaccine acceptance. This may be related to government policies and mobilization factors. On the other hand, age and gender also determine COVID-19 vaccine acceptance. The government should pay attention to COVID-19 vaccine acceptance for people who are not bound at work and unemployed.
