Abstract

Abstrak

Peranan Apoteker di masa endemi Covid-19 sangat besar, mulai dari menata pelaksanaan penggunaan obat antivirus, konseling kepada tenaga kesehatan dan pasien, melayani informasi obat, memastikan pasokan obat yang tepat untuk masyarakat, dan sebagai public health educator. Upaya yang telah dilakukan Pemerintah dalam mencegah penyebarluasan Covid-19 yaitu vaksinasi. Tingginya tingkat penyebaran informasi terkait vaksin Covid-19 yang tidak benar lewat media sosial mengakibatkan terjadi pro-kontra di masyarakat. Hal ini terjadi karena kurangnya pemahaman dan pengetahuan masyarakat akan vaksin Covid-19. Tujuan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini yaitu implementasi peran serta Apoteker dalam melakukan sosialisasi ke masyarakat terkait vaksinasi Covid-19, sehingga program Pemerintah berjalan optimal. Metode yang digunakan berupa penyuluhan mengenai vaksin, bahaya dan pencegahan Covid-19. Sasaran target sosialisasi terdiri dari kelompok PKK dan kelompok Dasawisma di Desa Palaes, Kecamatan Likupang Barat, Kabupaten Minahasa Utara. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan pada tanggal 1-2 April 2022 diikuti oleh 30 peserta dan dilaksanakan di rumah warga. Pemaparan materi dari tim pengabdian, diskusi serta tanya-jawab disertai pembagian paket suplemen kepada peserta selama kegiatan berjalan dengan lancar. Kesimpulannya, terdapat peningkatan pengetahuan masyarakat terhadap peran Apoteker sebagai tenaga kesehatan dalam vaksinasi Covid-19.
