The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic imposed a pressing global threat. Vaccines against COVID-19 are a key tool to control the ongoing pandemic. The success of COVID-19 vaccination programs will largely depend on public willingness to receive the vaccine. This study aimed to evaluate the acceptability of COVID-19 vaccines among university students and lecturers in four different provinces of Indonesia. An anonymous, cross-sectional study was conducted online among university students and lecturers in Indonesia between 23 December 2020 and 15 February 2021. Of 3433 respondents, 50.3% stated that they would accept COVID-19 vaccination, while 10.7% expressed unwillingness and 39% were not sure about receiving the vaccine. Concern regarding the side effects after COVID-19 vaccination was the main reason among the participants for not willing to receive the vaccine. Being male, associated with the health sector, having a higher monthly expenditure and having health insurance could increase the acceptability of the COVID-19 vaccine. Low trust in the government and low confidence towards vaccine safety and efficacy could hinder participants' decision to be vaccinated. Simple, clear and fact-based information from trusted sources on a regular basis will be important for building confidence towards the COVID-19 vaccination program in Indonesia.
2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行构成了紧迫的全球威胁。针对COVID-19的疫苗是控制当前大流行的关键工具。COVID-19疫苗接种计划的成功将在很大程度上取决于公众接种疫苗的意愿。本研究旨在评估印度尼西亚四个不同省份的大学生和讲师对COVID-19疫苗的接受程度。2020年12月23日至2021年2月15日期间，在印度尼西亚的大学生和讲师中进行了一项匿名横断面在线研究。在3433名受访者中，50.3%表示愿意接种COVID-19疫苗，10.7%表示不愿意，39%不确定是否会接种疫苗。对COVID-19疫苗接种后副作用的担忧是参与者中不愿意接种疫苗的主要原因。男性、与卫生部门有关联、月支出较高以及拥有健康保险可能会提高对COVID-19疫苗的接受程度。对政府的信任度低以及对疫苗安全性和有效性的信心不足可能会阻碍参与者做出接种疫苗的决定。定期从可靠来源获取简单、清晰且基于事实的信息对于增强印度尼西亚民众对COVID-19疫苗接种计划的信心至关重要。
