Abstract

Abstract: In Indonesia, vaccination against COVID-19 has become a requirement for all educational institutions. The vaccine can help instructors, education staff, and students prevent the spread of COVID-19 in schools. However, a person's awareness and willingness to receive the COVID-19 vaccine might be influenced by a number of other circumstances. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between knowledge level and willingness to receive the COVID-19 vaccination among students at MAS Ulumul Quran in Banda Aceh. The research was conducted using a mixed method, involving all students of MAS Ulumul Quran, Banda Aceh, totaling 260 students. The study concluded that there is no significant correlation between knowledge and willingness to receive COVID-19 vaccination in students of MAS Ulumul Quran in Banda Aceh.
