KALTENG - As many as 99.51 percent or more than two million residents of Central Kalimantan Province (Kalteng) have received the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

"Based on data as of June 13, 2022, the achievement of the first dose of vaccination, to be precise, was 2,026,219 people," said Agus Siswadi, representative of the Central Kalimantan COVID-19 Task Force Public Communication Team in Palangka Raya, quoted from Antara, Tuesday, June 14.

Although the target achievement has been very good, from time to time there is an increase in the number of people who have been vaccinated in Central Kalimantan. This proves that the vaccinator team and related agencies continue to work to achieve optimal group immunity.

Meanwhile, the second dose has reached 83.67 percent or about 1.7 million people, and the third dose or booster dose has reached 21.50 percent or more than 437,000 people.

"The total achievement of this vaccination, both the first, second and third doses, is a combination of various target groups, such as health human resources, public servants, the elderly, the general and vulnerable communities, teenagers to children," he said.

To date, there are 233 health facilities spread across regencies and cities in Central Kalimantan carrying out COVID-19 vaccination services, while the number of trained vaccinators is 1,832 people.

Good vaccination achievements in Central Kalimantan have made herd immunity in the community well realized. This condition can be seen from the condition of the spread of COVID-19 cases which is increasingly sloping.

Based on the latest data released by the Central Kalimantan COVID-19 Task Force as of June 14, 2022, to date the number of patients being treated for COVID-19 is only 0.04 percent, including four people in the hospital and 16 people undergoing self-isolation.

The accumulated number of COVID-19 cases since it was first discovered in Central Kalimantan, has so far reached 57,136 cases, consisting of 55,426 recovered, 20 in treatment, and 1,690 dead.
