COVID-19 case data as of January 16, 2021, in Indonesia reached 882,418 cases and in East Java reached 98,403 cases. In Surabaya, the total number of confirmed cases was 18,974 with 200 active cases, 17,500 recovered cases, and 1,274 deaths. Meanwhile, the level of community vulnerability is increasing due to the lack of community discipline toward the implementation of health protocols. It is critical to develop tailored strategies to reduce community vulnerability, namely through vaccination. We aimed to analyze the association between health protocol compliance and understanding of vaccines with COVID-19 immunization status. This cross-sectional study was conducted in Fishing Village, Kenjeran, Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. The study was carried out in 2021 in people aged ≥ 18 years old and who lived in Fishing Village. Respondents were selected by simple random sampling. The chi-square test was used to analyze the data. The results showed health protocol compliance (p=0.785) and understanding of COVID-19 vaccination (p=0.819) did not have an association with COVID-19 immunization status. There was a significant association between understanding COVID-19 immunization and COVID-19 immunization status. Meanwhile, there was no significant association between health protocol compliance and COVID-19 immunization status.
