Correlation Between Education and Age to the Perception of COVID-19 Vaccination

Background: COVID-19, a pneumonia-like disease, started to spread at the end of 2019 and became a pandemic globally. Vaccination is one of the programs to reduce the severity of particular conditions, including COVID-19. However, in Indonesia, the response to COVID-19 vaccination remains low. This study aimed to assess the correlation between age and educational background to the perception of COVID-19 in Yogyakarta City, Indonesia. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted from August to September 2021 at several vaccination centers in Yogyakarta City of Yogyakarta province. Total sampling was used to recruit participants during the mass vaccination period. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis. Results: 1,068 participants joined this study, with an age average of 29.8. Most respondents graduated from senior high school 528 (49.4%). Bivariate analysis showed a significant correlation between education and knowledge about Adverse Events Following Immunization (p=0.01). Conclusion: Perception of the adverse event following immunization was significantly associated with education

The Yield of Active Tuberculosis Disease and Latent Tuberculosis Infection in Tuberculosis Household Contacts Investigated Using Chest X-ray in Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia

In Indonesia, the implementation of tuberculosis (TB) contact investigation is limited, with low detection rates. We report the yield of and risk factors for TB disease and infection for household contacts (HHCs) investigated using chest X-ray (CXR) screening. We identified HHCs aged five years and above of bacteriologically confirmed index cases from 2018 to 2022 in Yogyakarta City and Kulon Progo. All HHCs were offered screening for TB symptoms; TB infection testing with either tuberculin skin testing or interferon gamma release assay; and referral for CXR. Sputum from those with symptoms or CXR suggestive of TB was tested with Xpert MTB/RIF. Risk factors for active TB disease and latent TB infection (LTBI) were identified by logistic regression models. We screened 2857 HHCs for TB between June 2020 and December 2022, with 68 (2.4%) diagnosed with active TB. Of 2621 HHCs eligible for LTBI investigation, 1083 (45.7%) were diagnosed with LTBI. The factors associated with active TB were age, being underweight, diabetes mellitus, urban living, and sleeping in the same house as an index case. Factors associated with LTBI were increasing age and male gender. Conclusions: Screening for HHC including CXR and TST/IGRA yielded a moderate prevalence of TB disease and infection
