AEFI Calls Vaccination As A Real Solution To Stop The Spread Of COVID-19

JAKARTA - The chairman of the National Commission for Post-Immunization Associations (Komnas KIPI), Hindra Irawan Satari, said that the national vaccination carried out by the government is a real solution in cutting the spread of COVID-19. So, according to Hindra, people must obey when it is time to get vaccinated.

"We have to believe that we carry out the vaccination as well as possible, which is a national government program. Because this is an additional effort to control the spread of COVID-19," said Hindra Irawan Satari, in a statement received Thursday, January 21.

Hindra said this in a virtual discussion on Wednesday, January 20 yesterday. According to him, the safety of the vaccines given by the government to the public will be guaranteed, where his side will directly monitor the vaccinations carried out in the field, starting from the quality of the vaccines stored to the injection process.

He emphasized that with the strict supervision process carried out in relation to vaccinations carried out by the government, the public should be sure that vaccines can carry properties in preventing infection with the virus that has attacked the whole world.

On the other hand, he said, each COVID-19 vaccine injected into an individual will result in three side effects. First, local symptoms which include post-vaccination swelling or soreness of the arm, which these effects will disappear in the next few days.

Second, comprehensive symptoms which include fever, dizziness, nausea, and weakness after the COVID-19 vaccine injection. Incidents like that, will soon disappear in some time.

And third, the symptoms of anaphylaxis for individuals who have a history of hypersensitivity to certain drugs or substances.

"The effects of the COVID-19 vaccination are normal for individuals," he said.

When the above effects occur, the government will be fully responsible for the vaccination. Given, this vaccination is a national program which certainly gets special attention from all stakeholders.

"If it is treated, of course everything will be borne by the state, because this is a national program," he concluded.
