The incidence rate in Medan City has reached 47,000 cases. Prevention efforts to strengthen the immune system is the Covid-19 vaccination. Even though the vaccine is declared safe, there are still people who don't want to be vaccinated. Rejection also comes from a group of educated people. This hinders the success of the National Covid-19 Vaccination Program. Vaccination efforts can be successful if carried out simultaneously, so as to form herd immunity. Community empowerment carried out by providing education about Covid-19; the benefits of vaccination; and about herd immunity. They are also invited to vaccinate. People want to vaccinate because they have confidence and understand the information provided. This activity increases the number of vaccination implementations in partner work areas.
