THE ROLE OF STATE ADMINISTRATIVE LAW IN MASS VACCINATION IMPLEMENTATION FOR COMMUNITY IMMUNITY IN INDONESIA ¹Benyamin Tungga, ² Yossie Maria Yulianty Jacob ¹Master Degree in Ngurah Rai University, Denpasar Indonesia ² Law Faculty in Nusa Cendana University, Kupang Indonesia ABSTRACT: Today's world is confronted with a slew of growing and more complex health issues, one of which is the issue of epidemiological transmission. Epidemiology of transition or changes in disease patterns is a state of change in disease patterns in which infectious diseases remain unresolved while non-communicable diseases continue to rise. Several factors contribute to this change, including an unhealthy lifestyle such as smoking, imbalance, sedentary body habits, no diet, accidents, and acts of violence. Because of the rapid pace of modernization and the development of new values as a result of the current swift currents of globalization, these lifestyle changes tend to be unhealthy. Transitional epidemiology is characterized by re-emerging diseases such as polio, as well as new types of infectious diseases that did not previously exist (new emerging diseases) such as the Corona Virus (Covid-19). Indonesia is currently undergoing a Covid-19 vaccination program. The Covid19 vaccination campaign began on January 13th, 2021, with President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) receiving the first injection. The government intends to inject the vaccine into as many as 181.5 million people, or 70% of the total population, within 12 months to achieve community immunity, also known as herd immunity. The program is implemented through two schemes: free government vaccinations and independent pathways for workers and workers whose costs are borne by the company. Keywords: community, role, constitutional law, mass vaccination, immunity

INTRODUCTION
Covid-19 is a disease caused by the Corona virus, which attacks the respiratory tract. This disease was discovered for the first time in Wuhan, China. SARS-Cov-2 is not a new type of virus (Heldavidson, 2020), but a virus can mutate to form a new genetic composition; in other words, the virus remains the same type and only changes uniformly. The corona virus shares a close genetic relationship with the viruses that cause SARS and MERS, thus the name SARS-Cov-2. DNA from the SARS-Cov-2 virus is known to be similar to DNA from bats. It is also believed that this virus originated in Wuhan's wet market, where many exotic Asian animals of various kinds are sold, some of which are cut directly at the market to be purchased fresh. Because of the close interaction between animals and humans, this market is regarded as a virus breeding ground. So, to control the Covid-19 pandemic, a vaccine is required. There is also another immune system. Specifically, adaptive immunity, which can be triggered by germ exposure. One method is through vaccination, while another is through direct natural exposure. This adaptive system causes the formation of antibodies, which in turn causes cellular immunity to be activated. Herd immunity, also known as community immunity, is only achieved when 60 to 80 percent of a population is naturally or through vaccination exposed. If the number of people infected as a result of natural exposure is 286 million, then approximately 160-215 million people will be infected. There is a chance that 9.1 million to 12.2 million people will perish (predicted case fatality rate (CFR) of 5.7 percent). Given the high CFR, researchers from all over the world are currently working together to develop vaccines. The vaccine, it is hoped, will stimulate the formation of antibodies against the cause of COVID 19. Taking the CFR into consideration, it is hoped that herd immunity can be achieved through vaccines. With vaccination, it is hoped that those who have been immunized will serve as protectors for other small groups of people who have not been immunized. Adherence to health protocols must be maintained for many years during the process of herd immunity through vaccination (https://fin.co.id/2020/12/07/covid-19-timbulkan-effects-dangerous/).
