Theme: Misconceptions and Perceived Effectiveness
Sub-Theme: Vaccines are perceived to be effective
1	Man, 2 doses, after campaign	“I take them seriously myself because they [vaccines] protect us from a lot of diseases. For instance, when we took the cholera vaccine, automatically I was 100% sure I will not get sick from cholera. Then, there is the example of polio, when you have some young child, a baby vaccinated against polio, you are 100% sure to say he/she won’t get polio.”
2	Lay HCW, after campaign	“Then the other thing that they think is that, the moment you are vaccinated you can play around anyhow, anywhere. That if you’re vaccinated, you cannot get sick. ”
Sub-Theme: Name, mechanism, purpose and duration of cover differs by vaccines is not well understood
3	Woman 0 doses, after campaign	“Injection work faster than the one for oral because once they inject you, it starts to work.”
4	Woman, 1 dose, after campaign	“Others do not think about these vaccines we have been given, how is it going to protect us in future? For example, the vaccine for tetanus, you need to be injected five times. You find that maybe you were given the vaccine once; you refuse to be vaccinated again without knowing why they are giving you the vaccine again.”
5	NHC member, after campaign	“Some people may have a virus in their body. Then after taking the vaccine, you will find that the disease will now show itself. This person will get sick but will not die. ”
