Abstract

Despite entering the endemic phase, the Covid-19 vaccination program should still be carried out to further strengthen our levels of immunity. Although the program has been successfully continued, do the people in Malaysia especially the rural community have a piece of knowledge about vaccination or even do they accept the Covid-19 vaccination? Therefore, this study was conducted to find out whether the rural population has knowledge about this vaccination and whether they accept this vaccination program. For this study, the Belaga community which is located in a rural area in Sarawak, Malaysia, is selected to participate in this study. This study was conducted online using a google survey and distributed on various media platforms such as Facebook and WhatsApp. There are 110 respondents answered this survey. Almost all the rural Belaga residents know about the Covid-19 vaccination through social media and even from local TV or radio. Not only that, most of them accept the Covid-19 vaccination even if the vaccine is fully developed in the future. The average highly educated population is prone to know those who are not eligible for vaccination. People with chronic diseases and infants have a high percentage of categories not eligible for vaccination. Therefore, it is important to know more about this vaccination in order to accept any vaccination program in the future without worrying its consequences because nowadays, vaccines are created for our health and immunizations.
