JAKARTA - The Commission IX Vaccine Working Committee (Panja) of the Indonesian House of Representatives has again evaluated the COVID-19 vaccination program implemented by the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes).

"The Working Committee focuses on evaluating expired vaccines, the lack of health workers to vaccinate and the lack of a halal booster vaccine," said Panja member Arzeti Bilbina in Jakarta, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, March 30.

He explained the next hearing meeting (RDP) of the House Commission IX Vaccine Supervision Committee to discuss in more detail various problems in the implementation of the COVID-19 vaccination.

In addition, he said the Vaccine Panja also asked the Ministry of Health to be alert in dealing with post-immunization follow-up events (KIPI).

The Vaccine Panja also wants to ensure that the Ministry of Health continues to socialize and educate the public so that they are willing to be vaccinated.

"We also discussed domestic vaccine production. We are trying to ensure that red and white vaccines can be produced immediately, so that we can be independent," said this member of the DPR for the East Java I Dapil. This member of the National Awakening Party (PKB) faction also said that the evaluation conducted by the Committee Vaccines with the Ministry of Health some time ago were also to dig up information related to vaccine content.

"Especially about this vaccine, it needs to be really explored. So that the public can identify the validity of the information. So that all parties help and monitor each other. The government can also work optimally in this vaccination because we continue to monitor it," explained Arzeti.
