The number of Covid-19 cases continues to increase, including in Indonesia. One of the efforts made by the Indonesian government to prevent a pandemic is to create and implement a Covid-19 vaccination program for the community. Therefore, the government is trying to urge the public to be willing to carry out a Covid-19 vaccine. This study was conducted to the willingness of the Indonesian public to the vaccination program as an effort to prevent Covid-19. The research method used is a qualitative approach by analyzing subjectively through the literature review method from PubMed, Clinical Key, Google Scholar, and Google Engine in Indonesian or English. The results showed that most Indonesians were willing to be vaccinated. However, there are also Indonesians who refuse to be vaccinated. The reason people refuse to be vaccinated against Covid-19 may be that they have different beliefs about the Covid-19 vaccine because of limited information about the type of vaccine, the availability of the vaccine, and the safety of the vaccine itself. the conclusion is that quite a lot of Indonesian people are willing to receive vaccinations but the government still needs to provide information, knowledge, and education about vaccination programs by involving all parties, both directly and the media so that Indonesian people who refuse or receive vaccines have the same perception or views as people who are willing received the Covid-19 vaccine.

Public health is the main priority of the government policy. In line with this, various efforts have been undertaken to improve the health of the community, including vaccination programs, explicitly the injection of vaccines, specifically immunization among children. This is due to the transmission of various types of diseases that risks the survival of children. However, there are parents who reject giving the vaccine to their children based on claims of non-halal vaccine sources and the adverse events following immunization. They deny the importance of vaccines by choosing alternative treatments that are said to be better and safer. Since the vaccine injection is not a mandatory requirement by the government, they feel entitled to reject the vaccine injection by choice. As a result of the vaccine rejection, some previously reduced vaccine-preventable diseases are on the increase in Malaysia. Therefore, this literature review, based on the qualitative approach, discusses the polemics of vaccines and governmental authorities in enforcing a policy from an Islamic ruling perspective. Findings of this study indicate that based on the principle of maslahah in Islam, it is permissible for the government to devise vaccination as a compulsory requirement for the citizens. Thus, the government can enforce mandatory vaccinations so that parents will allow their children to be vaccinated. The effects of not vaccinating children are not on the children only; they also pose risks to the community at large.

This research aims to identify types of media used by the Acehnese people in seeking information about COVID-19, and people’s perceptions and responses to the information that increases their likelihood of the risk of the pandemic. This study employs a quantitative approach, in which an online survey distributed through social media. All 324 respondents gave their consent to participate in filling out the research questionnaire. The study found that Acehnese people prefer online media and television (TV) to receive information about COVID-19, especially when people can access the information online (streaming). The finding indicates that people tend to trust information obtained through the media more than direct information (face to face) conveyed by the government. Regarding the public responses, this study found that most respondents argue the lack of government action in disseminating information about COVID-19.  It is believed that this condition is likely to bring up false information (hoax) from untrustworthy information sources. This response has an impact on the level of public trust towards the government as the main source of information in handling the pandemic. Respondents claim that the local government has a slow response in providing information about people who are infected by the virus, including insufficient information on the intervention of prevention and treatment carried out to stop the spread of the virus.
