The Indonesian government launched a national vaccination program to end the Covid-19 pandemic. However, this national program has encountered obstacles, including public reluctance to be vaccinated. Concerns about side effects and safety are the main reasons for public hesitation to participate in this program.

A survey by the Katadata Insight Center (KIC) found that almost 46.8 percent of respondents were hesitant to receive the Covid-19 vaccine. Those hesitant expressed concerns about potential side effects. Meanwhile, 43.2 percent expressed doubts about the vaccine's safety, and 25.8 percent were unsure whether the vaccine would be effective.

Regarding willingness to be vaccinated, almost 46 percent of the population remained undecided or unwilling, while 54 percent were willing.

This online survey was conducted among 5,963 unvaccinated respondents across 34 provinces in Indonesia from February 13-16, 2021. This period was approximately one month after the government officially implemented the Covid-19 vaccination program.
