JAKARTA - The Central Government sent 336,9560 COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer to be distributed to East Java through the East Java Health Office.

The Pfizer vaccine is a vaccine from the 151st stage of arrival and is part of the vaccine used to accelerate the COVID-19 vaccination program.

"Direct arrival at Juanda Airport, Surabaya, because it will be allocated directly to the East Java Health Office, in an effort to meet the vaccine needs in the region," said Director General of Information and Public Communication of the Ministry of Communications and Informatics Usman Kansong in a written statement quoted by Antara, Thursday, 9 December.

Usman said that currently the stock of COVID-19 vaccine is in the safe category and can meet the vaccine needs of the Indonesian people.

Provision of vaccine stocks for the community to get optimal body health protection from SARS-CoV-2 has become part of the government's commitment.

The availability of stocks of COVID-19 vaccines for the community is also accompanied by efforts to increase vaccination achievements in specific areas so that they can reach people who are hampered by difficult geographical conditions.

"Currently, more than 100 million people have received a complete dose of vaccine," said Usman.

Usman invites the public to be able to actively participate so that the program for handling the pandemic, including the acceleration of vaccination, can achieve the target more quickly.

Do not forget that the Government is not tired of continuing to invite all people who have not received it to be vaccinated immediately, there is no need to be picky about vaccines, because all vaccines are safe and efficacious.

"Vaccination is not just an effort to protect oneself, but also to protect families and the whole community," said Usman.

For those who have been vaccinated, it is hoped that they can help by inviting or encouraging relatives, relatives, and colleagues who have not been vaccinated, to be vaccinated immediately.

Not to forget, Usman expressed his gratitude from the government to the community and volunteers who have struggled to help smooth and organize the national vaccination program.

Also to many parties who helped correct a number of inaccurate or inaccurate information that emerged in the community, some of which had made a number of people reluctant or delaying getting vaccinated.

"As is well known, efforts to handle this pandemic are our collective efforts as a nation," he explained.
