Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between government communication and vaccination acceptance during the COVID-19 pandemic. A questionnaire was distributed, covering acceptability, government communication visibility, clarity, and efficacy, factors influencing vaccination decisions, and government responsiveness. Correlation analyses and regression were conducted. Results showed significant correlations between communication clarity and various variables, including communication's role in vaccination decisions, trust in government communication, and encountered obstacles. Vaccination acceptance was positively associated with communication clarity and perceived vaccination benefits, while government responsiveness was also positively linked to acceptance. Findings emphasize the importance of clear and trustworthy government communication in promoting vaccination acceptance during public health crises.
