ABSTRACT
The world is currently facing the COVID-19 pandemic and it has become easy to spread hoaxes on
the internet. However, there are no papers that talk about its impact on COVID-19 vaccination. This
study aims to investigate the impact of the spread of false news on the COVID-19 vaccination in
Indonesia. An online survey with 396 respondents was done to investigate the frequency of COVID-
19 vaccination news encounter and the trust towards the news. 17 of the respondents were then
invited to an interview. The findings showed that 43.7% of the respondents are almost always
exposed to news about COVID-19 vaccination and 28.7% almost always believed it. These news
have created concerns, misunderstandings and noise, delaying COVID-19 vaccination in Indonesia.
It is recommended to prepare more in-depth questions to be asked to respondents and conduct a
longer survey. This study needs more respondents to have more validated generalization.

INTRODUCTION
Internet
The development of digital technology has increased rapidly and has become more
sophisticated over the last decade, especially since the advent of the internet. The internet is
changing human life significantly and can have a significant impact on cultural values. Since
its inception, the Internet has been researched and developed by professionals and
technology watchers, making it increasingly attractive to users (Hakam et al., 2020). Based
on data from the Ministry of Communications and Information of the Republic of Indonesia,
Indonesia's internet users will increase by 11% year-on-year from 175.4 million to 202.6
million in 2021. Indonesia is one of the 10 largest internet users in the world (Kominfo RI,
2021).
From the early of 2020 to the second quarter, internet users reached 196.7 million, or
73.7% of the population (Jatmiko, 2020). According to Hootsuite We Are Social's findings,
as of January, 209 Indonesian social media users accounted for 150 million, or 56% of the
total population. Media users' social gadgets have reached 130 million, or about 48% of the
population (Databox, 2019).

The rapid development of technology today is of great interest to the community. As
a result, the development of this technology has made it easier for the general public to access
information and news disseminated through online media. Not only is this done through
commonly known news sites, but ongoing advances have given us the freedom to search for
the latest news and surrounding information. Especially in the current pandemic era, there
are always good news and bad cases (Handayani et al., 2021).
The existence of the Internet as a result of the development of digital technology and
also as a new communication medium, not only makes it easier for us to build relationships
and interact socially, but also reduces our interactions with others directly (Permana &
Abdullah, 2020). Moreover, with the recorded number of internet usage which has
skyrocketed, the impact is that it creates new problems that previously rarely occurred, such
as fraud. This fraud leads to many things, direct fraud that we usually encounter and large-
scale fraud through unverified news (Trustyanda et al., 2021).
Especially during a pandemic like this, a lot of fake news is being spread in any news
media, especially about health. With low public literacy, the spread of fake news is very
detrimental to some people, because people are confused with news that is inversely
proportional to the situation (Nugroho et al., 2021).
COVID-19 Pandemic
The world is currently facing a COVID-19 pandemic. There are hundreds of viruses
that belong to the coronavirus family. Coronavirus is a positive single-stranded large RNA
virus with an envelope that infects not only humans but also many animals. SARSCoV2
seems to have transitioned from animals to humans at the South China seafood market in
Wuhan, China (Lone et al., 2020).
Infection with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV2),
which appears clinically primarily in the respiratory system (COVID-19), has shown very
high infection rates in different parts of the world, so the WHO will eventually have
determined the status of this infection. As a pandemic, this even urged some countries to
implement blockade policies to prevent widespread and large-scale spread of the virus (Lone
et al., 2020). As the virus began to spread in Indonesia in February 2020, the WHO pointed
out that the government had to take proactive measures such as restricting regional
movements and compulsory teleworking (WFH). People around the world live and work at
home (Harahap et al., 2020).
AoEJ: Academy of Education Journal

The COVID-19 epidemic case illustrates the significant impact of this new information
environment. The dissemination of information can have a significant impact on people's
behavior and change the effectiveness of government measures. In this regard, virus spread
prediction models are beginning to take into account the behavioral response of the
population to public health interventions and the dynamics of communication behind content
consumption (Lone et al., 2020).
In Indonesia, more than 5,000 people were confirmed to be COVID-19 positive in
early April 2020. The Indonesian government is currently working hard to reduce the
number and mortality of this infection every day. One of the efforts underway is the
implementation of a Large Social Restriction (PSBB) policy. One form of implementation
of this policy is the use of physical distance (Ministry of Health, Republic of Indonesia,
2020). The contextual implications of the physical distance policy in the field can take the
form of an appeal to work/study/worship at home. Due to these movement restrictions and
the introduction of telecommuting, the number of internet users is increasing.
Vaccination
We hope that the long-term solution to the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID19)
pandemic will be a globally safe and secure vaccination program that offers a wide range of
clinical and socio-economic benefits. Dozens of vaccines are under development, eight of
which are currently in Phase 1 trials. (DeRoo et al., 2020).
However, the mere availability of vaccines is not sufficient to guarantee
comprehensive immunological protection. The vaccine must be acceptable to the health
community and the general public. Depending on various biological, environmental and
social behavioral factors, the COVID19 herd immunity threshold can be between 55% and
82% of the population. (DeRoo et al., 2020).
COVID-19 vaccine development began in several research centers and pharmaceutical
companies as soon as SARSCoV2 was identified as the pathogen and the first genomic
sequence was released. On March 16, 2020, the first candidate for the COVID-19 vaccine,
an mRNA-based vaccine developed by Moderna Inc., participated in a Phase 1 clinical trial
in the United States and China (ChiCTR2000030906). Other vaccine candidates have been
developed, including DNA-based vaccines, inactivated, live attenuated, subunits, and
replicative viral vector-based vaccines. (Harapan et al., 2020).
The implementation of COVID-19 vaccination is a government priority for the
restoration of national health and the achievement of national goals, as seen in the fourth
paragraph of the preamble to the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia 1945, it fully
AoEJ: Academy of Education Journal
Vol. 13 No 2 Tahun 2022
213
protected the Indonesian people and all those who shed Indonesia, promoted the public
interest, educated the people, and participated in the realization of a world order based on
freedom, eternal peace and social justice (Masnun et al., 2021).
To ensure that the vaccination can be taken by Indonesian citizens, Edward Hiariej,
Deputy Minister of Justice and Human Rights (HAM), said anyone who refused to receive
the COVID-19 vaccination could be sentenced to up to one year in prison (Ramadhan, 2021).
Hoax
The social media platform can provide instant access to an unprecedented amount of
content, amplify suspicious rumors, information and spread hoaxes. Taking into account user
preferences and settings, the algorithm conveys and promotes the promotion of content and
thus the dissemination of information. This departure from the traditional news paradigm
has had a major impact on social cognition and the construction of narrative frameworks. It
influences the development of political decision-making, political communication, and
public debate, especially on controversial issues. Online users tend to get information
according to their worldview, ignore dissenting opinions, and form polarized groups around
the general story. In addition, false information can easily increase with high polarization.
Some studies have shown that fake news and inaccurate information can spread faster and
more than factual news (Cinelli et al., 2020). This so-called inaccurate information is well
known as "hoaxes".
Hoax is information that is not true or invalid and is part of the information that cannot
be proven to be true. Hoax means deceptive, unhonest, false, or lying words that are
misleading or merely for the purpose of joking (Juditha, 2019). In other words, clever and
fraudulent cases are also known as hoaxes.
With current technological developments, spreading hoax messages is very easy via
social media: the internet via articles, WhatsApp, Instagram, Line and Facebook. In
Indonesia, many citizens are active social media users, and the increase in internet users can
have an impact as a place to disseminate information and news that is not always true. On
social media, people can interact with so many people that each individual or community
still has a lot of people who are slightly different and are not critical or cautious in
communicating information. And there are still many people who are not very careful when
dealing with information and are not critical (Putri et al., 2020).
In addition, you can't limit the sending of messages, and everyone can access them
quickly. According to a survey, about 17% of respondents receive fake news every day. They
also get news from various social media sources distributed through official recognition
AoEJ: Academy of Education Journal

214
(Rahayu & Sensusiyati, 2020). As a source of printed and electronic forms, the media plays
an important role in shaping the public perception and response to COVID-19. Today's fast-
growing social media makes it easy for people to establish communication and access
information anytime, anywhere (Mardika & Wulandari, 2021).
According to the KIC survey, at least 30% to nearly 60% of Indonesians are exposed
to false reports when accessing and communicating through cyberspace. Currently, only 21-
36% can recognize false reports (Cahyadi, 2020). The rise in fake news in Indonesia is driven
by a crisis of confidence in the mainstream media that the general public is throwing at fake
media. According to Yosp Adi Prasetyo, chairman of the press council, hoaxes are the effect
of changing the functioning of social media from friendship media, expressing political
opinions, and exchanging means of commenting on the opinions of others.
METHOD
Research Participants
Participants amounted to 396 respondents ranging from high school students, college
students, and working adults were involved in non-proportional stratified random sampling.
The inclusive criteria include: (1) uses the internet on a daily basis, (2) aware of the current
Indonesian COVID-19 vaccination program, (3) willing to participate as proven by informed
consent.
Data Collection
This study used a quantitative research method using research or survey tools, an
approach to literature research through a variety of available data and information sources.
The research targets are the internet users that use the internet daily. After collecting data
and sources of information, the researchers reviewed the data and information by
determining the research subject. The research subject is the result of a framework regarding
where the data or research variables are found or where the object of research can be found.
The results of the survey that have been obtained will be continued by presenting the
data in tabular form in order to show precise results and easier to analyze. This data
processing activity will be made by comparing the presentation results on the poll and the
respondents who participated in the questionnaire.
After finishing the survey, an interview was conducted with 17 of the respondents of
the survey to further find out the impact of the hoaxes to their decision in taking the COVID-
19 vaccination. The saturation of the qualitative interview was fulfilled. The results of the
interview are then encoded and analyzed to comprehend the reason why the spread of hoax
AoEJ: Academy of Education Journal
Vol. 13 No 2 Tahun 2022
215
can impact the COVID-19 vaccination. The results are then presented in the form of a map
that shows the reason why the spread of hoaxes can impact the COVID-19 vaccination.
This study also used a descriptive qualitative approach. The data source has been
published online over the last three years and has been obtained from a trusted literature
search. For example, hoaxes, COVID-19 pandemics, use of social media, the effects of the
internet and hoax epidemics, the worries of vaccination.
Data Analysis
Several steps are used to analyze the data (Sidiq U, 2019). There are three types of
these steps: 1) Data reduction. At this stage, the data obtained is very extensive and needs to
be investigated in more detail in order to obtain the points or most importantly relevant to
the purpose of the research being carried out. 2) Disclosure of data. In qualitative research,
data can be published by providing narration and data presentations so that readers can
understand the content of the research being conducted. 3) Withdrawal/review of
conclusions. At this stage, the researcher can create a summary of the answers to the
question.
Study Design
The first step is to determine the formulation of the problem that will be investigated.
Regarding this research, a question would like to be addressed, which is why does the spread
of hoax impact the COVID-19 vaccination in Indonesia. After determining the problem
formulation, data is collected in two methods. The first method was by distributing an online
questionnaire that acts as a survey to investigate the exposure of the respondents to the news
regarding the COVID-19 vaccination and their trust towards the news even after knowing
those news differ from the general perception. The second method was by interviewing the
community directly to collect more accurate and profound data. After all the data was
collected, an analysis was conducted using qualitative descriptive data analysis techniques.
Then, conclusions are created based on the results of the data analysis done earlier.

The data obtained was converted into a table, namely table 1, which shows the 396
respondents who use the internet on a daily basis. From 396 respondents, 172 respondents
(43.7%) almost always encounter news about COVID-19 vaccination, 85 respondents
(21.5%) frequently encounter news about COVID-19 vaccination, 83 respondents (20.9%)
sometimes encounter news about COVID-19 vaccination, 46 respondents (11.6%) seldom
encounter news about COVID-19 vaccination, and 9 respondents (2.3%) almost never
encounter news about COVID-19 vaccination.
Social media or the internet has a big enough role for this vaccination activity. It is
evident that, when the government suggested vaccinating, data on three topics became the
main search topics on social media, including Covid, Sinovac, and Vaccination. From this
data, we can conclude that social media has a big enough role in influencing people to
participate in vaccines or just as a source of information about vaccines (Kurniawan & Sutan,
2021).
AoEJ: Academy of Education Journal

Due to the variety of sources available, social media now has a lot of information about
health. Information about health and social media is extraordinary today due to the
accessibility and availability of various sources that help social media users get the
information they need. There are many COVID-19 hoaxes that can be found on the internet,
especially during such a pandemic. In fact, many people in Indonesia do not have accurate
information about COVID-19 (Dewayani et al,. 2021).
Based on the results and the discussion done by Rahayu and Sensusiyati in 2020, 50
false reports on coronavirus were distributed in January 2020, focusing on the outbreak of
coronavirus, treatment and prevention of coronavirus infection, and social behavior in
dealing with the virus. This is a challenge for all of us who understand today's technology.
The threat posed by mischief has a huge impact. With the spread of COVID-19 hoaxes on
social media, people are becoming more and more unconscious, making it difficult to
distinguish between real news and hoax messages (Rahayu & Sensusiyati, 2020).

The data obtained was converted into a table, namely table 2, which shows the 396

almost always believe the news about COVID-19 vaccination (28.7%), 127 of the
respondents believe most news sources, but not certain sources (32.1%), 87 of the
respondents believe certain sources, but not most news sources (22.0%), and 68 of the
respondents almost never believe the news about COVID-19 vaccination (17.2%).
Trust is an intrinsic and potentially controlling component of successful uptake of the
COVID-19 vaccine. Findings suggest that public trust in government is very low with regard
AoEJ: Academy of Education Journal
Vol. 13 No 2 Tahun 2022
218
to vaccine acceptance and may contribute to public adherence to definite measures (Astuti
et al., 2021). This could possibly be caused by the spread of misinformation and hoaxes.
Study done by Mukhi and Medise (2021) shows that health workers experience
problems in persuading parents to complete vaccination, namely parental fear of visiting
facilities, difficulty in contacting parents, and anti-vaccine rumors or hoaxes about COVID-
19. This has certainly put a great stress on Indonesia's current most crucial target, which is
the COVID-19 vaccination of all Indonesian citizens.
The data obtained from the interview that has been conducted was analyzed, coded,
and converted into the plot below.
Figure 1. Interview Results
According to the interviewee, the COVID-19 vaccination news that they have been
exposed to includes news about the ineffectiveness of vaccination, the permissibility of the
vaccine which is not allowed to be consumed by the muslims, and the dangerous side effects
the vaccine possesses. These news have caused them to distrust the vaccine and to be worried
about the vaccination, some of the interviewees even believed that they could stay healthy
without the need of vaccination. These news have caused them to be unwilling to be
vaccinated.
The spread of hoax messages affects the community. These hoax messages create
worries, misunderstandings, and noise, and the effects they cause are negative because many
people are harmed by the messages and ridiculous to those who consume them. Hoaxes are
AoEJ: Academy of Education Journal
Vol. 13 No 2 Tahun 2022
219
also a way to distract the problem, divide the masses, and cheat. The spread of hoaxes is
mainly done by irresponsible people who know that the news is a lie and deliberately spread
fake news in order to attract attention and guide public opinion.
Hoaxes also seem to have a significant impact on older people who are feeling the
threat of COVID-19. There is a lot of news that is not yet known to young people and
millennials, as well as the unpleasant elderly. In this study, search results show that adults
and the elderly are the ones who actually experience anger and are afraid of the most
confusing news, but adults have a better understanding of health and other aspects (Rayani,
Purqoti, 2020).
In this regard, people are afraid to get vaccinated and even refuse. According to an
online survey data done by Putri et al. (2021), with 399 respondents, 81.2% of them are
willing to be vaccinated, while the other 48.1% have anxiety about vaccination because of
the many hoaxes that exist. Some of the hoaxes that spread have to inject the vaccine into
the male penis, the COVID-19 vaccine is genetically modified, dead, destroys indigenous
people, and contains Vero cells from green monkeys in Africa. Only Indonesia ordered the
COVID-19 vaccine (Wicaksono, 2021). Hoaxes cause mental illness in the community
during a pandemic. The problematic situation, combined with inadequate reporting and
information literacy, has created new barriers to mitigate the effects of outbreaks during a
pandemic (Kurniawan et al., 2020).
The lack of public understanding of vaccination is one of the issues that the Indonesian
Ministry of Health must address as it is one of the factors as to why the Indonesian
community can easily accept hoaxes related to the vaccination (Susilo, Putranto and
Navarro, 2021). Take the example in the city of Depok, it is known that the final result after
a research was carried out was the amount of people who had received the 1st and 2nd
vaccinations in the city of Depok starting from January 14, 2021 to August 21, 2021,
amounted to only 613,275 out of the population of 1,886,890 (Nalawati & Liliana, 2021).
Apart from all our anxiety about the COVID-19 pandemic, there are some simple
things that we can apply to take care of ourselves, namely by paying attention to our
nutritional balance, so that our immune defenses are maintained, and always applying health
protocols. Even though official information has been given regarding simple ways to prevent
COVID-19, there is still disinformation circulating about prevention which can actually
increase the number of COVID-19 cases (Rachmah et al., 2021).
Vaccine hesitancy and misinformation present major barriers to achieving community
coverage and immunity. Unless and until the origins of the wide variations in willingness to
AoEJ: Academy of Education Journal
Vol. 13 No 2 Tahun 2022
220
receive a COVID-19 vaccine are better understood and addressed, differences in vaccine
coverage between countries could potentially delay global control of the pandemic and
subsequent social and economic recovery (Généreux et al. 2020). The events above should
not have happened, or at least not that bad, if the community had a good literacy culture,
especially COVID-19 literacy (Harisanty et al. 2020).
CONCLUSION
After the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, internet and social media users in Indonesia
have increased significantly. In addition, with current technological developments,
spreading news is not a difficult task as it could be easily distributed through social media.
During the pandemic, many of those news are related to COVID-19 and as many internet
users grow, many of the citizens are exposed to those news, including the fake news or
hoaxes. Some people almost always believe in those news, including the news that could
have been fake. These fake news or hoaxes caused people to doubt the effectiveness of
COVID-19 vaccine. Some are also misinformed about the side effects of the vaccine. These
cases have caused few people to refuse to be vaccinated. This shows that the distribution of
hoax impacts heavily on the COVID-19 vaccination in Indonesia because it has made few
people to be worried and develop trust issues towards the vaccination, to not believe in the
effectiveness of the vaccination, and to doubt the permissibility of the vaccine, leading them
to not wanting to be vaccinated, thus delaying COVID-19 vaccination in Indonesia.
RECOMMENDATION
For further research, it is recommended to prepare clearer and more in-depth questions
to be asked to respondents, not forgetting to conduct a longer survey so that more data from
various aspects can be obtained. The participants of the interview must also represent every
strata investigated in the study. This study needs more respondents to have a more validated
generalization.
