JAKARTA - During the month of Ramadan 1442 Hijri, The Center for Vaccination with SOEs spread across five points in DKI Jakarta, Semarang, Surabaya, and Bandung changed the vaccination schedule for elderly citizens, public service workers, and people with disabilities.

In fact, especially in DKI Jakarta Vaccine Center, which is held at Istora and Tennis Indoor, GBK, Senayan, the vaccination is disbursed on the first day of Ramadan that is predicted to fall on Tuesday, March 13. The State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) Joint Vaccination Center in the capital will resume operations on Wednesday, March 14, 2021. This was explained by the Chairman of the Task Force of the Joint Vaccination Center of SOEs, Arya Sinulingga.

"To honor the Muslim citizens, as well as for all of us solemn in undergoing fasting, specifically at the Jakarta Vaccine Center we take one day off at the beginning of Ramadan. In addition, during this fasting month, the operating hours in all Vaccine Centers are also reduced and run for seven hours", Arya said in his written statement, Monday, April 12.

During the fasting month, all Vaccine Centers will operate from 07.00 a.m. to 14.00 p.m. local time. Although the operating hours are reduced, the Task Force ensures the services provided to the citizens who will be vaccinated remain maximal.

The schedule change is also related to the arrangement of working hours of health workers who are routinely adjusted every time they enter the month of Ramadan.

"The number of health workers who served in each Vaccine Center is not reduced during the fasting month. It's still the same. It's just that, as usual, the working hours of employees, be it private, Civil Servants (ASN), or SOEs must be adjusted during Ramadan, then we participate in aligning with the operating hours of vaccine centers", explained Rainier Haryanto, Coordinator of Medical Infrastructure Operations of the Vaccine Center.

Meanwhile, until Sunday April 11, the total number of Indonesians who were successfully vaccinated at the Joint Vaccination Center initiated by the Ministry of SOEs in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and local governments has reached 416 thousand people.

Although the national vaccination program has entered the third stage with the target of vulnerable people from geospatial, social, and economic aspects, including people with disabilities, the Vaccine Center is still faithful to serve the elderly who are still untouched by vaccination.
