Virus Corona atau severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) adalah virus yang menyerang sistem pernapasan. Terdapat 240 zona merah covid-19 di seluruh Indonesia, dan terdapat 5 zona merah untuk Provinsi Sulawesi tenggara yaitu kota Kendari, kota Bau-bau, Kolaka, Muna dan Konawe. Berbagai regulasi diterbitkan oleh pemerintah dalam upaya penanggulangan covid-19 termasuk didalamnya adalah program vaksinasi yang diharapkan dapat membentuk kekebalan kelompok/ herd immunity. Salah satu indikator keberhasilan program vaksinasi adalah terbentuknya antibodi anti SARS-CoV-2 (IgM dan IgG). Tujuan kegiatan adalah melakukan kegiatan skrining berupa pemeriksaan antibodi SARS-CoV-2 sebagai salah satu indikator keberhasilan program vaksinasi covid-19 bagi siswa-siswi SMAN 1 Soropia. Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan ini adalah metode imukokromatografi. Hasil skrining antibodi SARS-CoV-2 memperlihatkan hasil positif/reaktif sebanyak 32 orang (43%) yang tersebar menjadi reaktif IgM sebanyak 12 orang  (16%), IgG sebanyak15 orang (20%), IgM dan IgG sebanyak 5 orang (7%), serta hasil negatif/ non reaktif sebanyak 43 orang (57%). Seyogianya, program vaksinasi dikatakan berhasil jika dapat merangsang pembentukan antibodi dalam  tubuh, namun dalam kenyataannya lebih dari 50% subjek yang menunjukkan hasil negatif/ non reaktif. Hal ini dapat disebabkan oleh banyak faktor seperti efikasi vaksin dan juga respon imun tiap orang.

Malnutrition has always been a global problem and is the main cause of child mortality in developing countries. Nutritional status is a measure of success in meeting the nutritional needs of toddlers which can be seen from the achievement of toddler's weight. The short-term effects of malnutrition on toddlers are physical growth disorders in children, metabolic disorders, brain development disorders, and intelligence disorders. In the long term, malnutrition will cause a decrease in learning outcomes and cognitive abilities, decreased immunity, the risk of developing diabetes, heart and blood vessel disease, obesity, stroke, cancer, and disability in old age. To find out about the growth and development of early childhood, especially in relation to the development of early childhood nutritional values, regular measurements of the height and weight of toddlers from an early age are carried out through Posyandu activities. Toddler height and weight data will be grouped according to the nutritional characteristics of each toddler. In this study, infants will be clustered based on their nutritional characteristics using the K-Means algorithm clustering method. Based on the evaluation results, the number of clusters 3 is more optimal than the number of clusters 5 in the toddler dataset used in the study. It is hoped that the research results obtained can serve as a basis or recommendation material for posyandu throughout Indonesia to determine the nutritional status of the under-five age group, so that the handling is more appropriate and can help prevent malnutrition in under-fives.

Sleep quality is a state lived by an individual to produce freshness and fitness after waking up. If a person's sleep quality is poor it will cause a decrease in the body's immune system and Hb levels which causes the individual to feel easily tired, sleepy and susceptible to disease. Adolescents are identified as a population at high risk of experiencing sleep problems which disrupt sleep quality. Accumulated work and lifestyle are one of the factors causing poor sleep patterns in adolescents which makes it easier for them to experience sleep disturbances. Adolescents with high risk certainly need adequate knowledge regarding the importance of maintaining quality sleep related to the body's immune system and Hb levels.
