Abstract
The Covid-19 vaccine is expected to be available in the next few months. There is hope and optimism in welcoming the upcoming availability of the vaccine, but at the same time there is also concern that there will be resistance from some groups in society who do not believe in using vaccines to prevent virus transmission and the emergence of disease. Reluctance to accept this vaccine is known as the vaccine hesitancy. The study was based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) which explains that intention is predicted by the positive attitudes toward a specific behavior. This theory is generally used to predict the adoption rate of various health-related behaviors, including attitudes towards vaccination. The study reveals that past experiences of vaccination tend to illustrate that there are positive attitudes to vaccination among mothers surveyed. However, the focus should be directed to the parts that display barriers, drawbacks, or deficiencies, even only consists of small shares of the data. These small fragments could establish into the seed of vaccine hesitancy, which might have impacts on the efficacy of the upcoming Covid-19 vaccination.
