Kediri City Government Tightens Inspections To Prevent COVID-19 Vaccination Jockeys

KEDIRI - The City Government of Kediri, East Java, has tightened the screening process or examination of residents who want to be vaccinated to prevent the practice of jockeying for COVID-19 vaccinations.

"We are tightening the screening at table one, during registration. The identity of the ID card is seen, the data is matched. The photo of the ID card with the photo in question must really be checked," said the spokesman for the COVID-19 Task Force for the City of Kediri, Doctor Fauzan Adima, quoted by Antara, Thursday, December 23. .

His party added that the data between PCare or Primary Care vaccination with data at the population and civil registration offices must also be connected. It tries to avoid manual data because of the potential for jockeys.

"Manual jockeys are usually like that. But online, it seems difficult, difficult. In Kediri the system is online," he said.

The head of the Kediri City Health Office also added that the internet network must also be good when used for the purposes of the COVID-19 vaccination process.

His party also does not want to miss the occurrence of unwanted things so that they always anticipate various disturbances that could occur.

"We anticipate if there are technical problems. Sometimes there are problems with the internet network application, so manual data first. However, we always check and wait for the network to be online again, so the data really matches. The cellular phone number related to the ID and NIK data must also be suitable for PCare applications," said Fauzan.

His party emphasized that in the City of Kediri there had been no findings of cases of COVID-19 vaccine jockeys. However, he still asked the entire team on duty to always be careful.

He said, until now there are still some residents who have not participated in the COVID-19 vaccination. For that, he hopes that these residents immediately register themselves. Because, in the future, public activities must also be connected to the PeduliLindung application.
