Indonesia has ranked first in Asia due to a very large increase in Covid-19 cases. The spread of Covid-19 can be prevented by implementing health protocols and vaccination programs. Although vaccination is very important many people doubt it. Based on data, the first dose of vaccine in West Kalimantan only reached 14.5%. This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge with Covid-19 vaccine decisions.
