INTRODUCTION
The world health problem that is currently in the spotlight and is very important to get the attention of health scientists and the general public is the disease caused by the coronavirus.Corona Virus Disease -19 or more popularly known as COVID-19 has been designated by WHO (World Health Organization) or the World Health Organization as a Public Health Emergency of World Concern (KMMD) on January 30, 2020, and finally designated as a Pandemic on the 11th.March 2020.In Indonesia, the first confirmed case of COVID-19 was on March 2, 2020, with two cases (Nurani et al., 2020).In May 2020, the death rate also continued to occur even though it was offset by the number of recovered patients.One of the programs that have also started to be carried out is the Covid-19 vaccination program Globally, there were 172,427,800 cases of COVID-19 with 3,731,634 deaths (WHO Report, 2021) (Islamy, 2021) Efforts to break the chain of the spread of COVID-19 require good understanding and knowledge from all elements, including the community.In the case of the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia, public knowledge about COVID-19 is very much needed as the basis for the community in showing COVID-19 prevention behavior.Knowledge will also affect the public's perception of the COVID-19 vaccination program.When people have a positive perception of the covid-19 vaccination program, people will consciously follow the covid-19 vaccination program carried out by the government to break the chain of covid-19 spread in Indonesia.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
In this study, the researcher used a correlational analytic design with a cross sectional approach.The population in this study was the entire community of RT.01 RW. 01 3) Application (Application).( 4) Analysis (Analysis), ( 5) Synthesis (Synthesis).( 6) Evaluation (Evaluation).The higher the education, the higher the knowledge.The higher a person's education, the easier it is to receive information so that there is a lot of knowledge.Village midwives and village nurses Sumari Village, are very important for the community to need to increase knowledge about COVID-19 and the COVID-19 vaccination program is required to always provide health education counseling about the importance of participating in the Covid-19 vaccination program held by the government.
Table 2 shows that most of the respondents have positive perceptions as many as 87 respondents (90.6%).Everyone has their perception of what they think, see and feel.This also means that perception determines what a person will do to fulfill various interests, both for himself, his family, and the community in which he interacts.This perception is what distinguishes one person from another.Perception is generated from the concretization of thoughts, then gives birth to different concepts or ideas from each person even though the object seen is the same.Perception is a sensing process, namely the process of receiving a stimulus by an individual through the senses or also called a sensory process.This process does not just stop, but the stimulus is continued and the next process is a perception process.Therefore the perception process cannot be separated from the sensing process, which is a preliminary of the perception process (Ari & Astiti, 2014) Table 3 above shows that most of the respondents have a positive perception (90.6%) and most of the respondents have good knowledge (90.6%).correlation ρ = 0.000 means that there is a relationship between knowledge about Covid-19 and the perception of the Covid-19 vaccination program in the community in Sumari Village, Duduksampeyan District, Gresik.This is closely related that a person's knowledge is influenced by the perceptions that exist in the individual himself.Knowledge is a result of curiosity through sensory processes, especially in the eyes and ears of certain objects.Knowledge is an important domain in the formation of open behavior (Donsu et al., 2014).Knowledge or knowledge is the result of human sensing or the result of knowing someone about an object through their five senses.The five human senses for sensing objects are sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.Increased knowledge is not obtained from formal education, but can also be obtained from non-formal education.Knowledge of an object contains two aspects, namely positive aspects and negative aspects.These two aspects will determine a person's attitude.The more positive aspects and objects that are known, the more positive attitudes will be towards certain objects (Darsini et al., 2019).
Perception is a process of recognizing or identifying something using the five senses (Ari & Astiti, 2014).perception is the essence of communication.Perception has a very important role in the success of communication.That is, accuracy in perceiving sensory stimuli leads to successful communication.On the other hand, failure to perceive the stimulus causes miscommunication (Ari & Astiti, 2014).One of the factors that influence a person's perception is education.Notoatmodjo explained that people who have higher education will give more rational responses than people with low education or no education at all.Another factor that influences perception is experience and information.More information can influence or increase one's knowledge and with knowledge raises awareness that eventually someone will behave in accordance with the knowledge they have (Lubis et al., 2017).Experience is an event that has been experienced by someone.Not only an experience at all with an object tends to be negative towards a particular object, to be a basis for forming an attitude, personal experience must leave a strong impression.Attitudes will be more easily formed if the personal experience occurs in situations that involve emotions, appreciation will be deeper and imprint (Lubis et al., 2017).

There is a relationship between knowledge about covid-19 and the perception of the covid-19 vaccination program in the community in Sumari Hamlet, Sumari Village, Duduksampeyan District, Gresik with a strong relationship strength.
