The Covid-19 vaccination program in Indonesia had been started since early 2021. Effectiveness, side effects, and the level of public awareness are still a problem in achieving the predetermined Covid-19 vaccination target. the study aimed to describe the level of public confidence in the effectiveness of the Covid-19 vaccine. The vaccine is an effective intervention that can reduce the high burden of disease globally. However, public skepticism about vaccines is a pressing issue for public health authorities. With the availability of the Covid-19 vaccine, there is little information available about public acceptance and attitudes toward the Covid-19 vaccine in Indonesia. The method used in this research is a Literature Review study. The results of this study are low-public trust or low trust in the vaccination policy itself, especially in the early days of the presence of vaccines in Indonesia. This low-public trust is much influenced by the distribution of information on social media which gives rise to a narrative of debate. This situation also has an impact on the pattern of acceptance, cooperative interest, and public participation in government policies in the vaccination program, in increasing public trust, of course, there is a role for the media as well to provide education and information on all matters related to the vaccination program. The government’s efforts to cooperate with the Indonesian Ulema Council in supervising halal vaccine products seem to have an influential intensity, this is because Indonesia is a country with the majority of the population converts to Islam, so with the MUI fatwa stating that vaccines used for the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia are considered and monitored for purity. But as time goes on and the government continues to make efforts, the public’s confidence in the COVID-19 vaccination is getting better, and the success of preventing COVID-19 is going well.

“…The coronavirus pandemic has made more volatile an already strained relationship between scientists and the public. Public trust in large companies as well as other people declined during the pandemic in a US and Netherlands survey [131]. While trust in scientists rose early in the pandemic [132,133], trust is now lower than it was before the pandemic and shows significant political polarization The coronavirus pandemic has made more volatile an already strained relationship between scientists and the public.…”

Public trust in science was tested and relied on during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, which has shaped global events since the WHO declaration in March 11, 2020. Public trust has been impacted through the government recommendations and mandates informed by public health guidance, including non-pharmaceutical and pharmaceutical interventions. The free-flow of ideas and in-formation so essential to the functioning of science has faced unprecedented challenge from widespread censorship in both the media and in scientific journals. This has created a poisoned environment for the building of trust between science and society. Scientific norms and ac-countability must be restored in order to rebuild the vital relationship between scientists and the public they serve.

“…Low trust has the propensity to limit financial access, inclusion, and stability for consumers as well as damage the financial services industry. Individuals with lower levels of trust are less likely to have a savings account and have stronger liquidity preferences than people with higher levels of trust (van der Cruijsen et al, 2021). Buriak et al (2019) suggest that low or limited levels of trust create conditions for less than optimal financial behaviors including engaging in financial alternatives and more risky financial arrangements such as payday lending, bitcoin, and peer-to-peer companies among others.…”

“…Higher levels of trust also help to buffer against negative experiences that may arise (Kidron & Kreis, 2020). This buffering effect is particularly crucial because consumers generally do not have a clear understanding of financial products (van der Cruijsen et al, 2021), which can make them vulnerable to adverse experiences in the financial service industry.…”

“…Yet, according to the Edelman Trust Barometer (Campbell, 2019), financial services is one of the least-trusted sectors globally. This is not surprising, or new, given that a trust crisis-the loss of public confidence in financial markets, institutions, and other related economic agents-emerged after the global financial turmoil of 2007(Uslaner, 2010. In fact, Knell and Stix (2015) found that financial crises influence trust due to perceptions of the economic environment.…”

Financial institutions are pillars of the economy and play an important role in consumers’ daily lives. As such, trust between financial institutions and the consumers they serve is of paramount impor- tance. Using an online survey administered during the COVID-19 pandemic, this paper uses a qualitative content analysis methodology to explore consumer fear and trust in financial institutions. Stemming from fear of loss, three themes emerged: (1) history and experience, (2) perceived unfair practices/lack of knowledge of banking, and (3) general trust issues. Implications for financial institu- tions are presented based on these results.
