PRAYA - A total of 26 boxes or 24,507 vials of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine have arrived at Lombok International Airport Cargo, West Nusa Tenggara under close supervision and guard by TNI-Polri personnel.

"The vaccine arrived at the airport using Flight My Indo Airlines 2Y-833 Type: B737 F route Jakarta (CGK) - Lop, to be sent to the Mataram City Health Service," said Commander of Kodim 1620/Lombok Tengah, Lt. Col. Inf. I Putu Tangkas Wiratawan in Praya quoted by Antara, Monday, December 27.

A number of TNI-Polri personnel have been assigned to carry out security and supervision of the loading process, handover/administration, and physical inspection of vaccine packaging so that it can run safely and smoothly.

"This security activity is to ensure distribution can run safely and smoothly to the destination," he said.

The Dandim specifically asked personnel who participate in vaccine security activities at the airport to always prioritize vigilance, security factors and seriousness in carrying out their duties.

"We also do this security as a form of our support for the government in order to make the national vaccination program a success with a target of 100 percent for the Central Lombok region, before the MotoGP event at the Mandalika Circuit," he said.

In accordance with directives from the central government, the achievement of the first dose of vaccination must be 100 percent before the 2022 MotoGP.
