Abstract: COVID-19 vaccine could end the current pandemic through optimum uptakes to create herd immunity. Hence, it is critical to understand the predictors of people's intention to acquire a vaccine. To determine the factors influencing COVID-19 vaccine uptake in Jakarta, Indonesia, an online survey with 378 adults in the Special Capital Region of Jakarta was implemented. Results of hierarchical regression analysis reveals that 54% of the variance of the COVID-19 vaccination intention is explained by four factors, namely trust in vaccine manufacturers, the perceived benefits of COVID-19 vaccination, beliefs in COVID-19 conspiracy theories, and concerns about the side effects of COVID-19 vaccination. Trust in various institutions (e.g. national government, health experts and mass media) and concerns shared by people within their social networks did not significantly influence vaccination intention. Results of the study confirm the value of trust in vaccine manufacturers, and perceived benefits and risks of vaccination for people's vaccination intention.
