The Indonesian government had made various efforts to break the chain of the spread of COVID-19, one of these efforts was the vaccination program. The government was also issuing a Circular on the Third Dose of COVID-19 Vaccination (booster) to increase individual protection. This study aims to determine the level of knowledge, attitudes, and willingness of the people in East Java to the COVID-19 booster vaccine. This research was an observational study with a crosssectional approach using an instrument as a questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed by a descriptive method. A total of 119 repondents in East Java were participated in this study. The knowledge level of 105 respondents (88.2%) was in enough category, and 14 respondents (11.8%) were in a good category. In the attitude section, 21.8% (n=26) was in the neutral category, and 78.2% (n=93) was in the positive category. Meanwhile, 67.2% (n=80) of the respondents had got the COVID-19 booster vaccine, and 17.2% are willing to get this vaccine immediately (n=21). On the other hand, some people were not willing to receive the COVID-19 booster vaccine as much as 12.6% (n=15) because they still had doubts about its effectiveness, were afraid of side effects, and felt that the dose received was sufficient to protect against COVID-19. From this study, it can be concluded that the majority of people in East Java have shown high knowledge, attitudes, and willingness to use the COVID-19 booster vaccine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
