- The study explores the willingness to pay (WTP) for COVID-19 booster doses in Indonesia, revealing that 66.2% of surveyed respondents are willing to pay, primarily within the range of 100,000-500,000 Indonesian rupiah (approximately USD 6.71-33.57).

- The findings suggest that WTP for paid booster doses is significantly lower than acceptance for free vaccines, indicating a need for government subsidies and public education on vaccination and ongoing COVID-19 risks.
