Abstract

Abstrak: Partisipasi lansia dalam program vaksinasi di Indonesia masih rendah. Tujuan kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah meningkatkan kesiapan lansia dalam melakukan vaksinasi COVID-19. Kegiatan ini dilakukan di Posyandu Teratai Merah dan Posyandu Gelatik Kota Tasikmalaya, Provinsi Jawa Barat yang melibatkan 35 orang lansia. Bentuk kegiatan berupa edukasi kesehatan menggunakan metode ceramah dengan dibantu media power point, leaflet dan booklet. Sebelum diberikan edukasi kesehatan, lansia diberikan pre-test dan setelah diberikan edukasi, lansia diberikan post-test sebagai bentuk evaluasi keberhasilan kegiatan edukasi kesehatan. Hasil dari kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini menunjukkan terdapat peningkatan proporsi lansia yang menyatakan bersedia melakukan vaksinasi sebelum diberikan edukasi (19%) dan setelah diberikan edukasi kesehatan (52,4%). Proporsi lansia yang masih ragu, mengalami penurunan dari 52,4% sebelum diberikan edukasi menjadi 38,1% setelah diberikan edukasi. Sementara itu, lansia yang menyatakan tidak bersedia melakukan vaksinasi, proporsinya juga turun dari 28,6% sebelum diberikan edukasi menjadi 9,5% setelah diberikan edukasi.
