PALANGKA RAYA - Joint TNI-Polri officers guarded and secured the arrival of the Pfizer-type COVID-19 vaccine at Tjilik Riwut Airport, Palangka Raya City, Central Kalimantan Province.

"We have deployed Kodim personnel together with the National Police for the security and escort of the Pfizer vaccine, which will later be distributed throughout the Central Kalimantan region," said Palangka Raya Dandim 1016 Colonel Inf Rofiq Yusuf in Palangka Raya, quoted by Antara, Monday, December 27.

He explained that the escort was carried out to secure the COVID-19 vaccine as many as 10 coli weighing 305 kilograms. This figure can be used to vaccinate as many as 350,000 targets.

The escort is a form of support for the vaccination program launched by the government. In addition, to ensure the distribution process of the COVID-19 vaccine runs safely and smoothly until it reaches its destination.

The Dandim specifically asked TNI soldiers who participated in the escort and distribution to always prioritize vigilance, security factors and seriousness.

Danramil 1016-01/Pahandut Major Inf. Rudiyanto who served under the Command of Kodim 1016/Palangka Raya ordered the Babinsa to help smooth the distribution of vaccines to their destination.

"Especially for Babinsa whose target areas receive vaccines and carry out COVID-19 vaccinations, including checking the readiness of the targeted vaccine storage warehouse and ensuring vaccine storage is safe from all threats," explained Rudiyanto.

Meanwhile, previously, Head of the Palangka Raya City Health Office, Andjar Hari Purnomo, said that currently the local city is starting to inject the COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 6-11 years.

In order to accelerate the achievement of the COVID-19 vaccine, the city government together with a number of other parties has intensified vaccinations, both by health service centers and other parties.

"We, together with various related parties, also continue to intensify vaccinations as an effort to anticipate the spread of the third wave of COVID-19, which is expected to occur at the end of the year until the beginning of the new year," he said.

He also invited people in the capital city of Central Kalimantan to always implement the COVID-19 health protocol, thereby minimizing the potential and preventing the spread of the corona virus.
