ABSTRACT
Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy due to the disinformation related to Covid-19 infection and vaccination remains a major problem to deal with during this pandemic in Indonesia. This study aims to examine the factors associated with Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy and identify the Covid-19 vaccine acceptance rate among the urban community in Indonesia. A cross-sectional survey using a developed questionnaire based on the scientific literature was conducted online from March to May 2021 among the urban community in Semarang, Yogyakarta, and Surabaya cities. A total of 1200 individuals older than 18 years old were selected to participate by convenience sampling technique. The questionnaire is divided into three parts to assess the characteristics of respondents, their perception of Covid-19 and vaccination, and their opinion towards Covid-19 disinformation. Data were analyzed descriptively and the association between participant's characteristics and willingness to Covid-19 vaccination was investigated using logistic regression. The acceptance rate of Covid-19 vaccination among participants was high (92.50%) and most of the participants believed that Covid-19 vaccines are effective (76.75%). The majority of participants also disagreed and did not believe Covid-19 disinformation (85.25%). We found the association between the willingness to be vaccinated with several factors, such as age, education, monthly income, working status, presence of comorbidities, living with elderly status, perceived risk to get Covid-19 infection, beliefs on the effectiveness of Covid-19 vaccine, and perception related to disinformation. A multidimensional approach is needed to increase the Covid-19 vaccine acceptance and reduce public hesitancy towards the vaccine. Trustworthy information and evidence from the government are important to build public trust and overcome this pandemic situation. © 2022 Journal of medical pharmaceutical and allied sciencesｔ.

ABSTRACT
Business sustainability is important for stakeholders and investors and is related to the management's ability to manage the company. This study aims to analyze business sustainability at insurance companies during the pandemic of Covid-19 using the Springate (S-Score) and G-Score model. The research population is insurance companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2020-2021, with a total observation of 16 companies. The research data uses secondary data obtained from the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) website. The S-score results showed that the insurance companies ABDA and LIFE remained in good condition and were not threatened with bankruptcy, which indicated that they could maintain the company's sustainability in the future. There are companies that have the potential to go bankrupt and are threatened with future sustainability, namely AMAG, ASBI, ASJT, JMAS and MTWI, while other companies continue to fluctuate every period during the covid-19 pandemic. In contrast to the results of the G-Score which shows that all sustainability of insurance companies is in a good condition. Although the G-score results show all insurance companies are in good condition of sustainability, insurance companies must also consider the S-score results. Investors with the principle of prudence will take decisions based on the results of the S-score. This is related to the risk of investment in the future. © 2022 IEEE.

SARS‐CoV‐2 has been postulated to have a neuroinvasive potential. Headache as a very common non-respiratory symptom of COVID-19. The literature review is intended to explain about headache in patients with SARS-COV-2 infection. Methods: The journals used in literature reviews obtained through databases include Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct. The search found 26 articles from Google Scholar, 3 from PubMed, and 6 articles from Science Direct. Of all the articles, the selection was made based on the title and abstract, so that 35 articles were obtained. The literature used is not a thesis, dissertation, thesis, or other literature review. The articles used are only journals in full text. So that the number of articles used is 25 articles. Results: From the 25-literature reviewed, headache in COVID-19 patients appears in the prodromal phase and is followed by anosmia/hyposmia. Headache on COVID-19 patients in general were holocranial, hemicranial, or occipital, pressing, and worsens with physical activity or head movements.
