Survey: 20% of Jakarta Residents Need Assistance from Others for COVID-19 Vaccination

The Lapor Covid-19 survey reveals that some Jakarta residents still rely on others to register for and travel to coronavirus vaccination sites. Specifically, 18% agreed with this statement, while another 2% strongly agreed.

Eight percent of Jakarta residents remain hesitant, believing they depend on others for registration and travel to vaccination sites. This was observed across all age groups, predominantly among those aged 30-50.

However, the majority of Jakarta residents reported not depending on others for Covid-19 vaccination. This is reflected in the responses of 60% of respondents who disagreed and 11% who strongly disagreed.

Based on this, Lapor Covid-19 urges the government to simplify access to coronavirus vaccination services. They also call for intensified education and public awareness campaigns regarding the program.

The Lapor Covid-19 survey was conducted jointly with the Social and Crisis Intervention Lab, Faculty of Psychology, University of Indonesia, Social Resilience Lab, and Nanyang Technological University from April 30 to May 15, 2021. The survey involved 57,231 respondents across Jakarta, but only 47,547 completed and validated responses were included.
