The First Day Of Booster Vaccination For The Elderly In Gondangdia Menteng Quiet Of Enthusiasts

JAKARTA - Giving booster vaccinations or the third dose in the Child Friendly Integrated Public Space (RPTRA) Gondangdia, Menteng District, Central Jakarta, is lacking in interest.

Head of the Menteng Sub-district Health Center, Rusmala Dewi, said that currently the number of elderly people who want to receive the vaccine has not been seen much. Only a few elderly people came to get the third vaccination.

"Yes, there are not many residents, especially the elderly, for the third vaccine, this is probably only the first day and we only provide 28 doses of vaccination," he told reporters, Wednesday, January 12.

Rusmala said that the lack of vaccines for the elderly was possible because the information had not been spread thoroughly. The vaccine prepared for the elderly is a new type of AstraZeneca.

"This is also yesterday's leftover vaccine, so today we are taking another vaccine to the Health Service to be able to vaccinate other residents," he said.

The lack of interest, the Head of Menteng Sub-district, Edi Suryaman said that later when the vaccination dose was available, three pillars would invite the elderly to get the third vaccination.

"Later we will close the ranks and we will make vaccination centers other than the Gondangdia RPTRA. We will spread them out at a number of points later," he said.
