Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the patterns of life for people around the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that COVID -19 pandemic is a global health emergency. For this reason, various countries have implemented some policies to cut the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the efforts to break the chain of pandemic spread is mass vaccination. In Indonesia, the government is accelerating vaccine development and establishing a mass vaccination plan for the community. The plan gave rise to various perceptions of society. For this reason, research is needed to analyze public perceptions of the vaccination plan so that the policy can run appropriately and accordingly. In this study, a statistical analysis was used using the b x k contingency table based on Chi-square statistics and the odds ratio. Community perceptions are viewed from various aspects, such as development areas, latest education level, gender, income range, and age which are traced by survey methods. The results of the analysis show that people's perceptions are not influenced by gender, income range, and age, but are influenced by the development area and the level of final education. People who disagree with the plan are dominated by people who live in development areas C and D and have the latest education level, namely senior high school or lower. Thus, the socialization of the importance of this mass vaccination plan can be carried out to these community groups so that this plan can be implemented and get approval and support from the entire community.
