JAKARTA - Alumni of the 1991 Police Academy (Akpol 91 Bhara Dkasa) collaborated with students from various campus organizations to carry out COVID-19 vaccination in order to accelerate the formation of herd immunity or community communal immunity, Saturday.

The National Police Chief Gen. Pol Listyo Sigit Prabowo, who is also an Alumni of the 91st Police Academy, in Bekasi City, appreciated the collaboration of the National Police in the context of the 30-year service of the Bhara Daksa Battalion as the 91st Alumni of the Police Academy.

According to Sigit, to suppress the growth rate of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID019 in Indonesia, strong synergy and cooperation are needed between the government and all elements of society.

"Therefore, of course we are very happy that the collaboration can be carried out and this does not stop here, it will be carried out continuously in the region. We are certainly very happy to see younger students ready and willing to become volunteers with their abilities. All of them actually participated in the activity that," said Sigit as reported by Antara.

According to Sigit, herd immunity is one of the efforts to control the COVID-19 pandemic, therefore vaccination is absolutely necessary.

In addition, Sigit also reviewed the mass vaccination organized by the DPC of the East Jakarta Indonesian National Student Movement (GMNI) in collaboration with the 1991 Police Academy Alumni, at Pulogadung Sports Center, East Jakarta.

The former Banten Police Chief hopes that the synergy between the National Police and elements of youth or students in handling the COVID-19 pandemic, in the future, must be carried out throughout Indonesia.

On the other hand, Sigit also appreciated the Bhara Daksa Battalion for holding mass vaccinations together with students. The current form of service is by accelerating the target of group immunity.

In the review, Sigit reminded all students and other vaccination participants to continue to apply health protocols (prokes) in their daily lives, even though they have received vaccinations.

"Fellow students who have been vaccinated, I always remind you to keep implementing health protocols. Because we have to take good care of ourselves, not to infect or get infected, therefore health protocols must still be implemented. Even though we have all been vaccinated," said Sigit.

The mass vaccination, which was held with the BEM alliance at Bhayangkara University, Bekasi, targets 1,100 people to be vaccinated with the Sinovac vaccine. This activity involved 81 vaccinators, consisting of 60 vaccinators from the health office, 10 volunteers, and 11 vaccinators from the National Police.
