The problem with Taba teret sub-district partners is that 80% of vaccinations have not been achieved and many people do not want to take vaccinations at the puskesmas or other health facilities, this is due to concerns and lack of public knowledge about self-care after the covid-19 vaccination. Based on this phenomenon, we from the community service team of the D3 Nursing Study Program, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Bengkulu University, took part in educating the public about post-vaccination self-efficacy in the Elderly Group in Taba Penanjung Bengkulu.

After the education there were 100% of the participants answered correctly on the questions. The increase difference is 60% increase.
