As for the people who are against it, where some of these people refuse to carry out vaccinations because they think the vaccine is not necessarily safe for their bodies, and are worried about the side effects that arise after the implementation of the COVID-19 vaccination. Then there are also many questions that arise among the public regarding legal protection for them after getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
