Before Injecting The Vaccine, Don't Forget To Double Check The Expiration Period

Central Java Provincial Government

JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of Central Java, Taj Yasin Maimoen asked all disciplined regions to fill out PCare and SMILE applications after vaccination. So that the government, including the Central Java Provincial Government, can continue to monitor vaccinations at the regional level.

"This means that if we want to be disciplined in entering data, we can work quickly. And that will affect the delivery (of vaccines) from the center," said Gus Yasin, as he is known, during a meeting on the handling of COVID-19 at Building A, 2nd Floor, Governor's Office, Monday, November 1.

He also reminded all regional heads to continue to check the expiration of each vaccine and must inject it into the community before the effective time limit for use.

Regarding the request for the Sinovac vaccine, Gus Yasin asked the regions that were unable to finish the Sinovac vaccine to report it. Thus, its use can be diverted to other areas that need it.

"Here (SMILE) Sinovac, there's still a lot of data. If it hasn't been injected, if it's not capable, we can transfer it," he concluded.

Meanwhile, the Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo, emphasized to all regions not to inject expired vaccines.

Do not let regional heads pursue targets and want to spend vaccine stocks, so keep injecting vaccines that have expired.

"Later on the wrong injection, it will even cause new problems," he said, quoted from the Central Java Provincial Government Public Relations.
