"If we look at those who say they don't want to be vaccinated, the largest percentage is at the age of 60 years and over, the largest percentage is 37.5 percent. This of course needs all of our attention to take care of our parents, grandparents, them. the elderly," said Executive Director of Median, Rico Marbun, in his presentation at a webinar discussion, Wednesday, July 7.
The reason the public wants to be vaccinated is because they get exposure to the right information. For example, 12.2 percent said they wanted to be vaccinated to avoid being exposed to Covid, then 9.6 percent to get antibody immunity, to maintain 8.5 percent immunity.
Meanwhile, people who do not want to be vaccinated are due to misinformation or lack of information.
So, said Rico, there are people who say they don't need to be vaccinated because they are sure they won't be exposed to the Corona virus 5.8 percent, they are afraid of side effects 2.7 percent, getting vaccinated does not guarantee 1.7 percent of being free of COVID.
"Then there were those who stated that they were sick after being vaccinated at 1.2 percent. They still doubted 0.5 percent. There were others who stated that there were 0.6 percent death cases, etc. So negative information about vaccines, especially in terms of health, is still very strong in the minds of netizens, ' explained Rico.
