Most Health Insurance Users Willing to Receive COVID-19 Vaccine

According to a November 2020 survey on COVID-19 vaccine acceptance in Indonesia, the majority of individuals with health insurance were willing to receive the vaccine. Sixty-six percent of respondents using BPJS (Indonesia's national health insurance) were willing to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Meanwhile, 68 percent of respondents using private insurance indicated willingness.

Seventy percent of respondents using either private insurance or BPJS were willing to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Only seven percent of BPJS or private insurance users refused the COVID-19 vaccine. The highest rate of vaccine refusal (12 percent) came from the group without health insurance. Thirty-three percent of respondents without insurance remained undecided about receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
