Misinformation can spread and be absorbed very quickly, causing changes in behavior that can lead people to make poor decisions and take greater risks. The spread of misinformation can have very serious consequences, as it generates fear, decreased response to warnings about social distancing or hygiene, distrust towards health care providers and even towards the covid19 vaccine, which is now, our weapon to stop and control this disease that has caused so much damage worldwide. Determine the sociocultural factors and level of knowledge about the covid-19 vaccine in older adults from the Canchachalá - Incahuasi village, 2021. The research was non-experimental, cross-sectional and descriptive. The population was 83 older adults from the aforementioned village. We worked with a sample population because it is finite, specific and does not require a representative sample. The sample was non-probabilistic and convenience sampling. The survey composed of 3 dimensions was used: “Knowledge about immunizations“, “Knowledge about the covid-19 vaccine“ and “Knowledge about the covid-19 virus“, with an assessment scale: “low“, “medium“ and “high“. ” and the questionnaire instrument composed of 13 items that evaluate the social and cultural factor, in addition to Likert-style alternatives on a score of 1 to 5, where: 1: Strongly disagree; 2: Disagree; 3: Indifferent; 4: Agree, and 5: Strongly agree, with a score of 0 to 65 points; the survey and interview have a reliability of 0.7 and 0.666 according to Cronbach's Alpha, respectively. The 55% of older adults have low sociocultural factors; 67% of them have a low level of knowledge about the covid-19 vaccine. The sociocultural factors and the level of knowledge of the older adults of the Canchachalá - Incahuasi village were low, 55% and 67%, respectively.
