JAKARTA - West Java (West Java) Governor Ridwan Kamil explained the reason why President Joko Widodo and Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir could not volunteer for the COVID-19 vaccine in collaboration between Bio Farma and Sinovac company from China.
According to Ridwan, there are a number of conditions that must be fulfilled by potential vaccine recipients. One of them is living in West Java, especially those close to PT Bio Farma.
"The priority is to prioritize those who are close to Bio Farma. That is why volunteers are expected to be from Bandung, Cimahi people not in other districts or provinces because there is only monthly monitoring," Ridwan said through a video broadcast on his Twitter account @ridwankamil, Wednesday, 12 August.
He said, the monitoring carried out by this doctor will be carried out regularly. So that the volunteers are required to live in the vicinity of the drug company to make things easier. "If monitored by a doctor, the person must be on the spot at all times in order to measure success or weakness periodically," he said.
The former mayor of Bandung explained that there are a number of other requirements that must be met for those who wish to participate in the third phase of the clinical trial. Among them are aged 20 to 59 years and must be in good health.
"I'm still 49 in the category," he said.
Previously, as many as 1,620 volunteers will take part in clinical trials of the COVID-19 Sinovac vaccine candidate made in China. Implementation of the vaccine test will be carried out at the Padjajaran University Teaching Hospital (RSP), Tuesday 11 August.
Launching from Antara, all volunteer candidates who have registered come from various backgrounds. Volunteer registration is also open to the public.
"There might be ASN from the ASN, I don't see the status of the people who want to go ahead," said Sinovac COVID-19 Vaccine Clinical Research Team Field Manager, Dr. Eddy Fadliyana, Monday, August 10.
Even though it is open to the public, according to him, there are several requirements that need to be fulfilled by prospective volunteers, including volunteer age in the range of 18 to 59 years, and being in good health without congenital diseases.
