Abstract

The semiotic study seeks to uncover the meaning of the message and goodness, as well as the significance of the sign on the news of the COVID-19 immunization photo published in the Waspada Newspaper. This analysis is based on denotative and connotative meanings and myths. The data used are images of medical personnel performing COVID-19 immunizations for youngsters using a semiotic analysis approach, because semiotic analysis explores how mankind understands things that cannot be confused by explaining them. News of photos of COVID-19 vaccinations for children shows that photos of people’s activities who are enthusiastic about participating in government programs to comply with health protocols when the COVID-19 pandemic hits Indonesia cannot be separated from the city of Medan. From the results of observations, it is proven that the news of the COVID-19 vaccination photo organized by the government can be a solution to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus and prove that the public cares so much about health. This element of concern for health can be seen in the planning of taking pictures during the child’s vaccination activity. The composition in focus on the point of interest (main object) in the image and the arrangement of a number of objects by the photographer in setting the photographer’s position by taking into account the distance between them. To provide health care, the picture shoot results are also displayed in the form of a large-sized display (close-up).
