Booster Vaccine Priority Participants Can Be Seen Through PeduliLindung

JAKARTA - People who are included in the priority group receiving booster vaccines or antibody booster doses can check tickets and vaccination schedules on the PeduliLindung website and application.

"Check tickets and schedule for free booster vaccinations at PeduliLindung," said Ministry of Health spokeswoman Siti Nadia Tarmizi, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, January 11.

Nadia said the government will start a booster vaccination program for the general public on Wednesday, January 12 at a number of government-owned health care facilities such as health centers, central hospitals and regional general hospitals.

The booster vaccine is given free of charge to all Indonesians and is intended for those aged 18 years and over and have received the second dose of vaccine within a minimum period of six months.

According to Nadia, the priority groups for booster vaccine recipients are the elderly (elderly) and vulnerable groups who are registered as participants in the BPJS Health Contribution Assistance (PBI).

The third type of vaccine given will be determined by health workers based on the history of vaccination doses 1 and 2 received and according to the availability of vaccines at the service site.

Nadia said the ticket can be used at the nearest health facility or vaccination center at the appointed time.

Based on the guidelines published on the www.sehatnegeriku.com page, the public can visit PeduliLindungi.id and check the status and vaccination tickets by entering “Full Name” and “NIK”, then click check.

If through the PeduliLindung application, the public can follow these steps, first open the PeduliLindung application, log in with the registered account, click the "profile" menu and select "Vaccination Status & COVID-19 Test Results".

Then the booster vaccination status and schedule will appear in the account. To check vaccine tickets, go to the "vaccine history and tickets" menu.

If they belong to the elderly priority group and PBI, but have not yet received a ticket and vaccination schedule in the PeduliLindung application, participants can come directly to the health facility or nearest vaccination place by bringing their ID card and proof of vaccination doses 1 and 2.

Nadia said vaccination is a requirement for activities in public spaces and has been integrated with the PeduliLindung application.

"Make sure not to use other people's NIK and cellphone numbers when registering for booster vaccinations to avoid administrative problems in the future," he said.
