"This number of achievements is moderate when compared to the achievements of other districts/cities in East Kalimantan Province (Kaltim)," said PPU District COVID-9 Handling Spokesperson Dr Jansje Grace Makisurat in Penajam, Antara, Monday, December 27.

The comparison of the vaccination achievements of the elderly group in 10 districts/cities throughout East Kalimantan Province per day in Berau Regency is 50.55 percent at dose 1 and 36.02 percent at dose 2.

According to Grace, although the vaccination achievement of the elderly group at PPU is moderate for the provincial scale, her party continues to strive to improve its achievements. One of them is coming from house to house considering the elderly's obstacles to vaccination because there is no family to accompany them.

For vaccinations in the group of public service officers, Grace continued, the achievement at PPU was high because dose 1 was 129.16 percent and dose 2 was 124.61 percent.

"Similarly, the vaccination rate for health human resources at PPU is already high, namely at dose 1 it reached 121.24 percent, dose 2 was 117.34 percent, and at dose 3 it was 84.56 percent," said Grace.
