JAKARTA - Efforts to accelerate herd immunity in Indonesia continue to be intensified as an effort to suppress the rate of COVID-19. Vaccination activities in Labuan Bajo, West Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara this time received special monitoring. This is because the TNI Commander Marshal TNI Hadi Tjahjanto and National Police Chief, General Police Listyo Sigit Prabowo, were present at the vaccination site.

"I see the enthusiasm of the community from the elderly to children who all participate in vaccinations and it is proven that the achievement of the first dose of vaccination in West Manggarai is good, above 60 percent", said TNI Commander, Marshal TNI Hadi Tjahjanto, during a press conference in Labuan Bajo, Saturday, November 6.

The TNI Commander believes that the 70 percent COVID-19 vaccination target can be achieved in December 2021. If the target is met, the people of Labuan Bajo can have good immunity.

On that occasion the TNI Commander continued to ask the public to comply with health protocols. PCR services will also continue to be carried out for COVID-19 suspects so that they can suppress the spread of infection and the positivity rate is below five or one percent.

Meanwhile, National Police Chief, General Police Listyo Sigit Prabowo, hopes that the increasing vaccination achievements can make Labuan Bajo a super priority tourism destination ready to accept both domestic and foreign tourists.

He also hopes that the acceleration of vaccination achievement can be increased in order to meet the target. Thus Labuan Bajo is ready to reopen to receive tourist visits.

"We will show that Indonesia, Labuan Bajo, is ready to welcome back the arrival of tourists and can generate economic growth in the NTT region, especially West Manggarai", said the National Police Chief.

Based on data obtained from the Head of Public Relations of the NTT Police, Kombes Police Rishian Krisna B, the TNI-Police vaccination booth which was held in the grounds of the Holy Spirit Parish Catholic Church in Labuan Bajo was targeted for 2,000 people.

Since the vaccination service was opened on November 2, 2021, the number of doses of Sinovac vaccine that has been given to the public has been 1,565 doses.

The number of vaccines prepared for vaccination services on Saturday is 600 doses.
