Covid-19 cases are still high in Indonesia and one of the most effective efforts to prevent the spread of the virus is by giving the Covid-19 vaccination. The Covid-19 vaccination is a government program with targets from children to the elderly. The Covid-19 vaccination coverage rate is still low. One of the reasons is the low level of public knowledge about the benefits of the Covid-19 vaccination. The purpose of this activity is to increase people's knowledge about the benefits of Covid-19 vaccination. The method used is lecture, question and answer, quiz, pre and posttest and discussion. The results of this community service activity are the knowledge of citizens before education about Covid-19 vaccination with a sufficient category of 37.5%, and knowledge of citizens after education with a good category of 46%. The conclusion of community service activities is that activities go well and increase public knowledge about Covid-19 vaccination and it is necessary to monitor community participation in Covid-19 vaccinations on a regular basis. Keywords: education; covid-19 vaccination;community participation.
