“…The socialization that was conveyed regarding the benefits of the Covid-19 vaccine, especially for children, did not reflect the complete level of understanding for parents. The messages and media used by the government were apparently unable to provide confidence for parents to be able to involve their children in the co-19 vaccine program [20].…”

“…The public's distrust of the government is inseparable from the attitudes and statements made by the government in dealing with the spread of Covid-19 at the start of the outbreak of this virus in Indonesia. This condition has exacerbated the level of public trust in the government, giving rise to speculation about the politicization of the co-19 vaccine program [20].…”

This study aims to find out how the influence of the socialization of the Covid-19 vaccine program on children by the Indonesian government has on the level of parental acceptance in Medan City. The research was conducted using a quantitative approach to 200 parents of elementary school students. Data collection was carried out through questionnaires and data analysis was carried out by testing hypotheses through t-test and f-test and the coefficient of determination. The results of the study found that the outreach carried out by the government about the benefits of the Covid-19 vaccine for children was not effective. This can be seen from the results of the coefficient of determination test, whether there is a level of trust of respondents in the information on the Covid-19 vaccine and whether there is a child's behavior in implementing the health protocol which is carried out simultaneously. regarding the respondent's attitude regarding Covid-19 vaccination for children, the respondent's acceptance rate was 14.1%. This shows the failure of the Indonesian government in socializing the benefits of the Covid-19 vaccine for children in efforts to prevent Covid-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia has entered its third year and seems to be nearing its end. The COVID-19 disaster provides many life lessons for society, nation, and state. One of the takeaways from the COVID-19 disaster is improving how humans communicate during a disaster. This paper is part of the research results during the response and recovery phases of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Kesugihan sub-district. This study interviewed leaders of government institutions and FGDs with community leaders in the Kesugihan sub-district, comprising 32 informants. The most important finding in the research is the importance of social capital in fostering solidarity so that cooperation is established between government agencies and community institutions in dealing with disasters and eliminating obstacles.

“…The essential characteristics of good governance are widely considered to be legitimacy, transparency, accountability, responsiveness, effectiveness, and rule of law (Keping, 2018;Addink, 2019;Nabin et al, 2021). Central to the characteristics of good governance is 'good communication' (Addink, 2019) and the absence of these conditions can undermine trust in decisionmakers and their message when such trust is necessary for dialogical and participative 'good governance' and successful crisis management (Adhani et al, 2022;Khosravi, 2020;Lee & Li, 2021;Salmon et al, 2021). Trust has profound implications for health outcomes (Lee & Li, 2021).…”

Objectives Communication is central to the implementation and effectiveness of public health measures. Informed by theories of good governance, COVID-19 pandemic public health messaging in 3 Canadian provinces is assessed for its potential to encourage or undermine public trust and adherence. Methods This study employed a mixed-methods constant comparative approach to triangulate epidemiological COVID-19 data and qualitative data from news releases, press briefings, and key informant interviews. Communications were analyzed from January 2020 to October 2021 in Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Alberta. Interview data came from 34 semi-structured key informant interviews with public health actors across Canada. Team-based coding and thematic analysis were conducted to analyze communications and interview transcripts. Results Four main themes emerged as integral to good communication: transparency, promptness, clarity, and engagement of diverse communities. Our data indicate that a lack of transparency surrounding evidence and public health decision-making, delays in public health communications, unclear and inconsistent terminology and activities within and across jurisdictions, and communications that did not consider or engage diverse communities’ perspectives may have decreased the effectiveness of public health communications and adherence to public health measures throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion This study suggests that increased federal guidance with wider jurisdictional collaboration backed by transparent evidence could improve the effectiveness of communication practices by instilling public trust and adherence with public health measures. Effective communication should be transparent, supported by reliable evidence, prompt, clear, consistent, and sensitive to diverse values. Improved communication training, established engagement infrastructure, and increased collaborations and diversity of decision-makers and communicators are recommended.
