<p><em>COVID-19 is a disease that attacks the respiratory system. In October 2021, the Covid-19 death rate in Indonesia reached 143,077. Multiple efforts such as physical distancing, hands washing, mask usage, and COVID-19 vaccinations were used to reduce the number of cases. The acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine in Indonesia depended on people’s knowledge, attitude, and behavior towards the program. The research was to identify a knowledge, attitude, and behavior of COVID-19 vaccination among people living in the Nifukani village, West Amanuban sub-district. The study used a quantitative descriptive method with a cross-sectional approach. The research sample consisted of 302 respondents. The validity test using Pearson Product Moment was declared valid with the results of r-count>r-table 0.3494. The reliability test was declared reliable with Cronbach Alpha values of 0.682 and 0.721. The data were then analyzed using univariate analysis. The results showed that the respondents had poor knowledge of Covid-19 (70.9%), good attitudes (56.3%), and good behavior (90.1%). The stakeholders, thus, had to increase people’s knowledge on Covid-19 vaccination either by leaflets, posters, or collaborating with local institutions to conduct community education. </em></p><p><strong>BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRAK </strong>COVID-19 merupakan penyakit yang menyerang sistem pernapasan yang mencetak angka kematian 143.077 pada Oktober 2021 di Indonesia.
