Cianjur Regency Government Continues COVID-19 Vaccination During Ramadan 1443 H

CIANJUR - The Cianjur Regency Government, West Java, continues to provide COVID-19 vaccinations during Ramadan 1443 H, especially the third dose or booster vaccination.

Cianjur Regent Herman Surherman in Cianjur Monday, April 4, said that even though residents are currently fasting, vaccination services will continue to run, either day or night. For Muslims can do it after Tarawih Prayer.

"Muslims can vaccinate after breaking the fast or after Tarawih prayers, non-Muslims can do it day or night if they want. Health service centers in each region will continue to provide vaccination services," he said, quoted by Antara.

His party coordinated with other parties through Forkopimda in holding mass booster vaccinations in a number of areas by involving the ranks of the TNI (koramil) and Polri (polsek).

"Vaccination should not be arbitrary, the body must be healthy, the stomach should not be empty, that's why it's time for Muslims to move it after breaking their fast or after Tarawih prayers," he said.

Head of the Cianjur Health Office, Dr. Irvan Nur Fauzy, said that vaccination for the general public has now reached 92 percent of the target of 1.9 million recipients. For the third dose of general booster, his party targets to reach 30 percent before Eid 2022.

"We are trying to hold mass vaccinations in a number of areas when fasting continues, including health service centers that continue to provide vaccination services during holidays. Forkopimda helps a lot to achieve targets through the National Police Persisi vaccination which is held mass in every sub-district," he said.
