Introduction: Parent’s knowledge on rotavirus diarrhea and vaccine might influence the
decision to vaccinate a child. The purpose of this study was to examine knowledge level
and to determine the factors that influence parents’ knowledge on rotavirus diarrhea and
vaccine. Methods: The study applied an observational study design with a multi-center
cross-sectional approach. The research instrument used a questionnaire to determine the
sociodemographic variables and knowledge of respondents. Results: Data were collected
from a survey of 500 parents in 5 provinces including Province of Central Kalimantan,
Lampung, Central Sulawesi, West Java, and Yogyakarta in Indonesia using convenience
sampling technique. Parents’ knowledge in this study was quite good with the average
score of 78.2 ± 16.81. However, out of 500 respondents, only 158 (31.6%) parents knew
that the rotavirus vaccine was not included in Indonesia's national health insurance
program. There was a significant difference in the average of knowledge between the
characteristics groups of age, education, monthly expenditure and experience of hearing
