ABSTRACT The COVID-19 vaccination can help to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Low vaccine acceptance among adolescents could exacerbate the risk of COVID-19. The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and risk factors among adolescents. This study used cross-sectional with adolescents who are domiciled in Medan City. The sample was gathered through an online survey, and the data was analysed using bivariate and multivariate statistics (Multiple Logistic Regression). According to the findings, 96.2% of respondents are aware of the COVID-19 vaccination programme, and 47.9% are willing to be vaccinated. Social media was predominantly a source of information on COVID-19 vaccination among respondents. The results revealed that economic status, social media information, and knowing the vaccination program had an influence on COVID-19 vaccine acceptance. Health education and promotion amongst the targeted group is needed to increase future COVID-19 vaccine coverage.

印度尼西亚棉兰青少年接受新冠肺炎疫苗情况的横断面在线调查

摘要新冠肺炎疫苗接种有助于减少新冠肺炎病毒的传播。青少年对疫苗的接受率低可能会加剧新冠肺炎的风险。本研究的目的是确定青少年中新冠肺炎疫苗接受率和风险因素。这项研究对居住在棉兰市的青少年进行了横断面调查。样本通过在线调查收集，并使用双变量和多变量统计（多元逻辑回归）对数据进行分析。根据调查结果，96.2%的受访者了解新冠肺炎疫苗接种计划，47.9%的受访者愿意接种疫苗。社交媒体主要是受访者中新冠肺炎疫苗接种的信息来源。结果显示，经济状况、社交媒体信息和对疫苗接种计划的了解对新冠肺炎疫苗的接受度有影响。需要在目标群体中进行健康教育和宣传，以提高未来新冠肺炎疫苗的覆盖率。
