The mass vaccination program during the COVID-19 period is an effort by the government to "Public Goods" in mandatory affairs (Obligatory Pubic Health Functions) to create "Herd Immunity". This research uses a descriptive qualitative method using Nvivo 12 plus as an analysis tool using theory from Erliana which includes communicators, messages, interactions, communication media, communicants, feedback and beliefs. This research shows that facebook and twitter accounts @Kominfo DIY conduct intense vaccination communication, information on vaccine implementation and vaccine education as well as the eradication of fake news continues to be informed transparently, but on the other hand, Diskominfo DIY's response in responding to comments from social media users is less active in providing a response so that the public is less participatory in diskominfo accounts. The tendency of Diskominfo accounts to provide good news also does not get attention by the public, as seen in the response map carried out by the community because people are more likely to be bad news because it is widely discussed on social media channels such as Facebook and Twitter. The lack of community participation in the Diskominfo account should be a benchmark in communication to the public, prioritizing two-way communication, not only prioritizing communication integrally.
