JAKARTA - Central Java Province will receive 421,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine from the central government in the first phase as an effort to tackle the pandemic.

"Our plan is to get 421,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine. That's the priority for health workers first, others are patient," said Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo, who was met after chairing a coordination meeting for handling COVID-19 in Semarang, reported by Antara, Monday, December 7. .

In this regard, Ganjar admitted that he had prepared training on the provision of the COVID-19 vaccine for the community, including structuring queues so that the procedure could be understood.

"For those who come, they are still small, but there are still other sources apart from China, so people don't have to worry, we will prepare the queue procedures," he said.

Even though the COVID-19 Vaccination Program will soon be carried out, Ganjar warned the public to remain vigilant and continue to implement health protocols.

"Do not let your guard down, there is a vaccine, so we" forget ", we don't need to wear masks and so on. No, we still have to be disciplined about the health protocol," he said.

The number one person in Central Java revealed that the level of discipline of the Indonesian people in carrying out 3M continues to decline based on the results of a survey of a number of institutions regarding adherence to maintaining health protocols.

According to Ganjar, this is very dangerous, so it is necessary to tighten the health protocol.

"This is a danger for us, so I urge it to be tightened again. Hotels, tourism spots, schools are tightened, curfews are tightened again, restrictions on society must also be increased to maintain it. I ask for public awareness to remain disciplined in maintaining health protocols and contributing on handling a pandemic, "he said.
