Abstract


Penularan wabak Covid-19 yang semakin membimbangkan telah menyebabkan masyarakat mengalami panik dan kerisauan terhadap penyakit pandemik Covid-19 yang mula menular pada tahun 2020. Inisiatif yang dilakukan oleh pihak kerajaan dalam membendung gejala Covid-19 adalah dengan mengesyorkan vaksin Covid-19 seperti Pfizer, Sinovac, Astrazeneca dan lain-lain dalam mencegah demi kebaikan seluruh masyarakat. Pengambilan vaksin Covid-19 telah menimbulkan pelbagai keraguan dan persepsi negatif. Oleh itu, pengambilan vaksin Covid-19telah menjadi satu isu besar kepada masyarakat kini yang mana terdapat golongan yang tidak mahu menerima vaksin atau dikenali sebagai anti vaksin. Tujuan kajian ini dilakukan untuk menganalisis persepsi, dan penerimaan masyarakat bandar daerah Melaka Tengah di kawasan Duyung mengenai vaksin Covid-19. Kajian menggunakan kaedah kuantitatif untuk pengumpulan data. Kajian ini menggunakan pensampelan secara rawak bagi mendapatkan responden dengan lebih ramai. Soal selidik telah dijalankan kepada 100 orang responden dianalisis dan menggunakan perisian SPSS. Pengkaji akan memfokuskan kepada responden yang berumur 18 hingga 60 tahun bagi melihat perbezaan persepsi dengan lebih jelas mengikut faktor usia. Hasil kajian bagi ujian korelasi menunjukkan hampir semua hubungan antara faktor sosiodemografi dengan faktor persepsi memiliki korelasi negatif. Hubungan antara peringkat umur dengan persepsi masyarakat iaitu (r = -.119 P <0.01). Manakala, bagi hubungan penerimaan vaksin dengan faktor jantina iaitu (r=0.48 P<0.05) turut menunjukkan korelasi negatif. Persepsi yang wujud hanya sebuah tanggapan kosong kerana majoriti menerima vaksin dengan baik. Penerimaan vaksin Covid-19 juga adalah untuk keselamatan dan kesejahteraan hidup bersama bagi membendung wabak pandemik ini bagi kelestarian masyarakat. Oleh itu, diharapkan kajian ini dapat mencapai salah satu senarai dalam matlamat pembangunan lestari ataupun dikenali sebagai Sustainable Development Goals-2030 Agenda supaya dapat memberikan manfaat dan sedikit pencerahan terhadap vaksin Covid-19 kepada masyarakat.

The growing spread of Covid-19 has caused the public to panic and anxiety over the Covid-19 pandemic disease that is beginning to spread by 2020. The government's initiative in curbing Covid-19 symptoms is to recommend Covid-19 vaccines such as Pfizer, Sinovac, AstraZeneca, and others in preventing the benefit of the whole community. The consumption of the Covid-19  vaccine has raised many doubts and negative perceptions. Therefore, the consumption of the Covid-19 vaccine has become a major issue for today's society where some do not want to receive the vaccine or are known as anti-vaccine. The purpose of this study was to analyze the perception, and acceptance of the urban community of Central Malacca in the Duyong area on the Covid-19 vaccine. Studies use quantitative methods for data collection. This study used random sampling to obtain more respondents. The questionnaire was conducted to 100 respondents analyzed and used SPSS software. The survey will focus on respondents aged 18 to 60 to see more perceptual differences by age factors. The results of the study for the collusion test showed that almost all relationships between sociodemographic factors and perceptual factors had negative collusion. The relationship between age and public perception is r = -.12 P <.01. Meanwhile, the vaccine acceptance relationship with the gender factor (r=0.48 P<0.5) also showed negative collusion. The perception that exists is only a blank notion because the majority receive the vaccine well. The adoption of the Covid-19 vaccine is also for the safety and well-being of living together to curb this pandemic outbreak for community sustainability. Therefore, this research can contribute to one of the Sustainable Development Goals-2030 Agenda in order to provide benefits and some enlightenment on the Covid-19 vaccine to the community.
