MAKASSAR - A resident from Pinrang Regency, South Sulawesi, who claimed to have been vaccinated against COVID-19 17 times, according to the results of an examination conducted by the Health Service team, did not experience any health problems.
"From the results of the blood sample examination in the laboratory, the person concerned is still within normal limits (his condition)," said Acting Head of the South Sulawesi Provincial Health Service Arman Bausat on the sidelines of the COVID-19 vaccination at the CCC Makassar Building, South Sulawesi, quoted by Antara, Friday, December 31st.
Arman explained that the Health Service team had carried out physical and mental health checks on Abdul Rahim, who claimed to have been vaccinated against COVID-19 17 times.
"We know that he has a history of users. Laboratory results of liver function are normal, there is no excessive impact from the 17 vaccinations that will damage him, coincidentally, he is physically good," said Arman.
However, the former Director of the Dadi Makassar Regional Special Hospital said Abdul Rahim had harmed the state and other citizens because he made a COVID-19 vaccine, which had limited stock, wasted.
Arman said the Health Service would then ensure that officers conduct thorough examinations of residents who want to undergo COVID-19 vaccination so that the actions taken by Abdul Rahim do not repeat themselves.
"We have reminded all vaccinators to identify, collect data, they must match their ID cards with the faces on their ID cards," he said.
"In the past, we were too focused because so many people were vaccinated, just look at the ID card and write it down. Now the face is matched with the face on the ID card," he continued.
Abdul Rahim admitted that he was vaccinated against COVID-19 up to 17 times because he was a vaccination "jockey", replacing people who did not want to be vaccinated with a fee of Rp. 100,000 to Rp. 800,000 for each vaccination.
The police have examined the 49-year-old man from Pinrang Regency and named him a suspect for violating Law No. 4/1984 concerning infectious disease outbreaks and regulations regarding the handling of COVID-19.
