Abstract

Vaccination is one of the health interventions carried out by the government, as an effort to deal with the spread of COVID-19. Indonesia has started a vaccination program since the beginning of 2021 and has successfully injected 321,258,956 doses of COVID-19 vaccine in both the first, second, and third doses. This study aimed to observe the protective behavior among Indonesian people after vaccination by using health belief model, to provide an overview of the implementation of health protocols after getting the COVID-19 vaccine. The study used a purposive sampling method with 326 respondents. The questionnaire was distributed online consisting of 12 HBM constructs statement and 9 demographic questions. The results of this study showed more than 70% had good protective behavior after vaccination, both using a mask, doing social distancing, avoiding touching the face, and washing hands. The empirical model shows that perceived severity, perceived benefit, and perceived self-efficacy significantly affect protective behavior. In addition to the results of this study, it is expected that the government considers several constructs that should be a focus for protective behavior campaigns after vaccination, such as perceived severity, self-efficacy, and benefits. For further research, investigations related to protective behavior after intervention is given need to be investigated. Interventions are expected to include some constructs, such as perceived severity of COVID-19, perceived self-efficacy, and perceived benefit of COVID-19 vaccine.
