YOGYAKARTA - The Kulon Progo Health Office, Special Region of Yogyakarta, noted that there are four villages in two sub-districts whose vaccination achievement is still below 70 percent due to various obstacles, ranging from health factors to low public awareness of being vaccinated.

Head of the Kulon Progo Health Service, Sri Budi Utama, said that there were four villages with low vaccination rates, namely Hargomulyo in Kokap District, and Brosot, Tirtorahayu and Karangsewu villages in Galur District.

"The four villages achieved COVID-19 vaccinations below 70 percent. This is homework for us to vaccinate in the area. Then, 84 other villages have met the vaccination requirements above 70 percent", said Sri Budi Utami in Kulon Progo, Between, Wednesday, December 15th.

He said of the 12 sub-districts spread across Kulon Progo Regency, the highest vaccination achievement was in Temon at 81.13 percent, Nanggulan 80.87 percent, Samigaluh 79.55 percent, Sentolo 79.00 percent, Girimulyo 77.57 percent, Kalibawang 77 .36 percent, Panjatan 77.01 percent.
