BANJARMASIN - Police arrested a man who was a COVID-19 vaccine jockey in Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan. The case is now being processed by law at the East Banjarmasin Police.

"We are paying attention to this finding. The legal process is firm for the perpetrators", said Banjarmasin Police Chief, Kombes Sabana A Martosumito, quoted by Antara on Thursday, January 6.

In fact, Sabana ordered investigators to develop their case as to who ordered the perpetrators until the forbidden practice emerged.

He reminded the whole community not to try to become a vaccine jockey because it was clearly a forbidden act and violated the law.

"Be honest. Come on, please vaccinate yourself for the sake of health, not for other purposes, namely just getting a vaccine certificate", he said accompanied by the Head of the East Banjarmasin Police, Kompol Puji Firmansyah.

Moreover, in the capital city of South Kalimantan, the vaccination achievement is very good, which is around 79 percent for the first dose injection as of January 5, 2022.

A man with the initials GR (29), a resident of Kebun Bunga Street, East Banjarmasin District, was arrested when he was about to take vaccinations at one of the vaccine outlets in the East Banjarmasin area.

The vaccinator was suspicious because the photo ID and GR's face were different until they were finally reported to the East Banjarmasin Police for safekeeping.

For his actions, the perpetrator was charged with Article 14 of Law Number 4 of 1984 concerning Disease Outbreaks.
