JAKARTA - A number of people with social welfare problems (PMKS), buskers, homeless people and street vendors in Kolong Jembatan, Slipi, West Jakarta, received a mobile Ramadan booster vaccination held by the West Jakarta Metro Police Narcotics Unit.

Head of the West Jakarta Metro Police Narcotics Investigation Unit (Satresnarkoba) AKBP Danang Setiyo said the police were focusing on booster vaccinations for residents of slum areas (slum areas) because of the difficulty of these groups getting vaccinations.

"It is certain that they have difficulty getting vaccinations. This is a concern for us so that they can easily receive vaccinations," said AKBP Danang when confirmed, Sunday, April 10.

A total of 200 doses of vaccine have been prepared by the West Jakarta Metro Police for residents in slum areas.

Deputy Head of Drugs at the West Jakarta Metro Police, Kompol Arif Purnama, explained that apart from giving 200 doses of Astrazeneca vaccination to residents, residents were also given other assistance.

"We have also prepared free food packages for residents after receiving vaccinations," he said

The vaccination was done randomly.

"We are looking for residents of the Slum area, especially the poor, street vendors, buskers, Sindang coolies and others who live or are under flyovers or toll roads," he said.

Prior to vaccination, PMKS or homeless people who received a booster vaccination were first subjected to a health check.

"Other conditions must also have an ID card to facilitate the data collection process," he said.
