Abstract (English): Background: Vaccination has been one of the globally used efforts to minimize the spread of COVID-19 disease, including in Indonesia. The rising number of false rumours has been a challenge for the COVID-19 booster vaccination program in Indonesia. From this perspective, it is important for the community to have adequate knowledge and a positive attitude toward the COVID-19 vaccine. This study aimed to analyse the factors that influence the community's knowledge, attitude, and behaviour toward the COVID-19 vaccination program among Indonesians. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study using an online survey form distributed through social media using a snowball sampling method, responded by 595 participants during the period between June and August 2021. The survey assessed factors that influence Indonesian adults' knowledge about COVID-19 and factors that influence their attitude toward COVID-19 vaccination. Results: A total of 576 out of 595 filled-in questionnaires were eligible for analysis. Among respondents, 85.4% already received mandatory vaccination programs in their childhood, and almost half of them also received additional non-mandatory vaccine programs. Almost all of the respondents expressed a positive attitude toward the COVID-19 vaccination program. Conclusions: The Indonesian community in general had adequate knowledge and a positive attitude towards COVID-19 vaccination. Those factors significantly influenced the attitude and affected their behaviour toward acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccination and its future vaccination booster program. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Arabic): المقال يركز على العوامل التي تؤثر على المعرفة والموقف والسلوك تجاه برنامج التطعيم ضد COVID-19 في إندونيسيا. أظهرت دراسة مقطعية شملت 576 مشاركًا أن المجتمع الإندونيسي يمتلك عمومًا معرفة كافية وموقفًا إيجابيًا تجاه لقاح COVID-19، مما يؤثر بشكل كبير على سلوكهم في التطعيم. تشمل العوامل الرئيسية المحددة العمر، والخبرات السابقة في التطعيم، والتعرض لوسائل التواصل الاجتماعي، وتأثير الأقران، والتي تشكل مجتمعة استعداد الأفراد لتلقي اللقاح. تشير النتائج إلى أن تعزيز المعرفة العامة ومعالجة المعلومات المضللة يمكن أن يحسن معدلات التطعيم وقبول الجرعات المعززة في إندونيسيا.
