LAMPUNG - The Lampung Provincial Health Office (Dinkes) asked the people in their area to equip themselves with complete vaccinations before carrying out the Idul Fitri homecoming.

"There is no further information regarding the provision of vaccination booths at transportation nodes, because we are still waiting for the direction of the central government," said Head of the Lampung Provincial Health Office, Reihana in Bandarlampung, Antara, Tuesday, March 29.

Therefore, the public is asked to complete the COVID vaccination before going home. "Later, before going home, people should take booster vaccinations in their respective places, so that when traveling they don't experience problems," he said.

According to him, vaccination at vaccination booths at transportation nodes must be carried out with full consideration, because it requires more complex treatment.

"To be honest, it is a bit difficult to vaccinate at the transportation node, because this is different from carrying out an antigen test. Because this vaccination requires more complicated treatment because it requires observation to prevent follow-up events after immunization," he said.

He explained, it was also necessary to prepare a special scheme to prevent crowds to avoid the spread of COVID-19.

"It is indeed better if the vaccination is carried out long before the homecoming implementation at the nearest health facility. In order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 due to crowds during vaccination," he said.
