Univariate analysis and Chi-Square were used for data analysis. Results: Of all participants, 74.8% were not comorbid, and 25.2% were comorbid. The incidence of AEFI was 56.9%, relatively occurring after the vaccination I, II, and I and II. AEFI started 40.1% within 24 hours post-vaccination with a 48.7% symptom duration within 1-24 hours. AEFI reactions 42.3% are other reactions in the form of allergic reactions, drowsiness, and increased appetite. The Chi-Square test showed a p-value of 0.894, indicating that both comorbid and non-comorbid patients had the same risk of developing AEFI.

Data were collected using validated questionnaires and analyzed using univariate statistics, Chi-square, and logistic regression. Results: The results indicated the presence of a correlation between health beliefs, especially perceived vulnerability (p = 0.048) and perceived benefits (p = 0.030), and family support in the elderly’s participation in Posyandu Lansia.
