Abstract

Since 2020 the world is hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. Indonesia has then declared a Covid-19 public health emergency based on Presidential Decree No. 11/2020 dated March 31, 2020. This pandemic does not have an impact on just the health sector but also on almost all aspects of life. One of the efforts to prevent the Covid-19 spread and its effects is through a vaccination program. In 2020 the President issued Presidential Decree Nr. 99/2020 concerning the Vaccine Procurement and the Vaccination Implementation in the Context of Combating the Covid-19 Pandemic. The target of vaccination is the entire population of Indonesia who meet the criteria and its implementation is carried out in stages. During the vaccination several incidents occurred which could be suspected as vaccination impacts. This paper aims to analyze legal protection for the vaccine recipients, particularly if there is any adverse impact. This is a normative study using secondary data which was analyzed qualitatively. Vaccine recipients, in the context of consumer protection law, can be categorized as consumers who receive vaccination services. They have basic rights that must be fulfilled by the service providers, in this case the State. The State must be responsible if the vaccine recipients experience losses, especially regarding post-immunization adverse events (KIPI). The responsibility is based on constitutional provisions and some other legislations.
