If It Is True That The DKI Health Office Gives Priority Vaccines Ration To DPRD Families, Ombudsman: Zalim
JAKARTA - The DKI Health Office is said to have given vaccination quota to family members of the DPRD. In fact, previously the DKI Provincial Government rejected the request.
The Head of the Greater Jakarta Ombudsman Representative, Teguh Nugroho, admitted that he was surprised by the policy of the Jakarta Health Office which allowed the families of Kebon Sirih parliament members to be injected with the COVID-19 vaccine.
This is because currently vaccination is still intended for priority groups. In the first stage, vaccines are intended for health workers. Currently, in the second stage, the target is public service officers to the elderly (elderly).
"Families of DKI DPRD members are only entitled to get vaccinated at this time if they are included in the target for the first and second stages. If they are not (categorized), their name is taking the vaccine for those who are entitled," Teguh said in his statement, Tuesday, March 16.
Therefore, if the DKI Jakarta Health Office does this to facilitate vaccination of the families of DPRD members, this action is contrary to the technical instructions of the Director General of Disease Prevention and Control of the Ministry of Health.
"Frontliners and the elderly in other areas are looking forward to waiting for that vaccine dose. They are still waiting for rations
due to the limited number of vaccines. If the vaccine for DPRD family members is facilitated, explained the DKI Health Office
wrongdoing frontliners and the elderly in other areas who have the right, "he said.
Initially, DKI Jakarta Deputy Governor Ahmad Riza Patria emphasized that his party refused the request for vaccination for families of DKI Jakarta DPRD members.
According to Deputy Governor Riza, the current COVID-19 vaccination process is still intended for groups who are vulnerable to exposure, such as health workers, the elderly, to public service workers.
"Our priorities are not vaccinations for families. Priorities are health workers, market traders, and public officials such as bus drivers, security forces, and so on," he said.
Later, member of the Gerindra Party faction DPRD DKI, Syarif, said that the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has finally provided a quota for COVID-19 vaccination for the families of council members.
"It has been resolved by the Chairman, in coordination with the Health Office. I don't know about the date yet. The stock will be measured again, "said Syarif.
Syarif said, each member of the council gets three people for his family. one person for wife / husband, and limited to two people for children.
He explained the reasons why the DPRD insisted on having his family vaccinated. First, he saw that DPR RI members could bring their families to get priority vaccine rations. Second, there is an allocation for DPRD members who are used because they cannot receive the vaccine.
