ABSTRACT
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has become a pandemic and a global health problem. Among the
necessary measures to regulate the pandemic is the implementation of health protocols. However, other
effective interventions are needed amid increasing community vulnerability, namely COVID-19
vaccination. Only 61% of children aged 6 to 11 years has been reached. This research aims to analyze the
behavior of receiving COVID-19 vaccines in children based on a review of the Health Belief Model (HBM)
behavioral theory. The data collection instrument used a questionnaire which has been through a validity
and reliability test. A purposive sampling technique was used by 400 respondents. Data analysis was carried
out descriptively with frequency, followed by associative, Chi-square, and logistic regression tests. The
data showed that 87.3% received the COVID-19 vaccination. All constructs of HBM had a significant
relationship with vaccination acceptance. The impulse to act construct contributed significantly to the
vaccine acceptance variable. Five HBM theory constructs have an influence of 83.9% with the receipt of
COVID-19 vaccination. In conclusion, the acceptance of COVID-19 child vaccination in most people is
relatively high. These results can be used to develop an intervention strategy to increase vaccination
acceptance.
