TANGERANG - Metro Jaya Police Chief Inspector General Pol Fadil Imran requested that the achievement of vaccination in the elderly in Tangerang City be maximized. The reason is that 60 percent of the COVID-19 cases that died, one of them was the elderly.

"In general, the vaccination achievement in Tangerang City for doses 1 and 2 is already above 100 percent. However, we really need to maximize vaccination for the elderly. We need to pay attention to the vaccination process for the elderly. Where, for the first dose, only 84 percent, while the second dose is only new. 72 percent," said Inspector General of Police Fadil Imran to reporters at the Tangerang City Government Center, Friday, February 18.

"I think friends can help socialize this vaccination program to vulnerable groups and have comorbidities. (Because) 60 percent of deaths have not been vaccinated, are elderly, and have comorbidities," he continued.

Meanwhile, the Head of the Tangerang City Health Office, Dr. Dini Anggraeni, said that he had made various efforts to maximize vaccinations for the elderly in his area. But the problem is the self-awareness of its citizens.

"We have maximized the achievement of vaccination in the elderly to one hundred percent, it's just a matter of awareness from the citizens or the elderly to want to be vaccinated," he said.
