After several years of the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) around the world occurred, World Health Organization (WHO) has stimulated great efforts to develop a vaccine against the COVID-19. Therefore, all of citizen is obliged to take the vaccine for precaution. However, the vaccine is only one step to reduce the spreadness of COVID-19, where the appearance of COVID-19 can occur after vaccination. Some peoples do not understand the vaccine function where it is used to prevent spreading COVID-19. This research analysed the emergence of COVID-19 post-vaccination by using the method of fuzzy and neutrosophic cognitive maps. The collected data from an interview with two experts called as a concept and from there the directed graph and adjacency matrix are constructed. Multiplication between vectors and matrices are repeated until the fixed point in finding the hidden pattern for all the concepts for COVID-19 post-vaccination obtained. The results obtained from this study are useful to all to know the factors caused of the epidemic after vaccinated as well as the procedures to be followed to protect from this disease. ©Copyright Abd Rhani.
