JAKARTA - Data from the DKI Jakarta Health Service (Dinkes) states that there are around 1.5 million Jakarta residents who have not received the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

"The total coverage of vaccinations is equal to 7.3 percent," said Dwi Oktavia, Head of Disease Prevention and Control at the DKI Jakarta Health Office, quoted by Antara, Thursday, November 4.

According to Dwi Oktavia, to complete the homework, the DKI Jakarta Health Office made a number of breakthroughs by vaccinating at night.

"Vaccination activities at night, for example at the celebration of the Prophet Muhammad's Birthday, which is accompanied by vaccine activities so that residents who come can be vaccinated at the same time," he said.

In each sub-district, there is a vaccination schedule in the afternoon and evening. "For those who are unable to do so in the morning, they can be vaccinated in the afternoon and evening," he said.

Dwi Oktavia also asked the public to immediately vaccinate against COVID-19, so that this pandemic can be more controlled and community activities can be relaxed.

"Easing can be done when vaccination coverage is very high and even. Maybe we can soon be like in Europe. So people immediately vaccinate everything, so that COVID-19 is more under control," he said.
