Bangka Belitung - The COVID-19 Handling Task Force for the Bangka Belitung Islands Province stated that as of May 1, 2022, Bangka Belitung had 54,027 vials remaining or 191,324 doses of vaccine and still sufficient to maximize vaccinations during Eid Al-Fitr 1443 Hijrah.

"During this Eid, we will continue to open free vaccination services to the public", said the Bangka Belitung COVID-19 Task Force Vaccine Distribution Coordinator, Dr. Bangun in Pangkalpinang, Antara, Tuesday, May 3.

He explained that based on the latest COVID-19 vaccine stock data, 54,027 vials or 191,324 doses, including details of Sinovac 23,470 vials, Biofarma 826 vials, Coronavac 11,158 vials, AZ Covax 6,205 vials, AZ UK 0 vials, Moderna 193 vials and Pfizer vaccine 12,144 vials.

In addition, there is a special allocation stock as a buffer at the Health Office of the Bangka Belitung Islands Province, 34,805 vials/129,630 doses, with details of 14,960 vials of Sinovac vaccine, 194 vials of Biofarma vaccine, 5,280 Coronavac, 3,986 AZ (Covax) and 10,385 vials of Pfizer vaccine.

"The distribution of vaccine availability was highest in Central Bangka with 5,188 vials and the lowest in East Belitung with 919 vials", he said.

A spokesman for the COVID-19 Handling Task Force for West Bangka Regency, M Putra Kusuma, said that the vaccine stock was sufficient for the COVID-19 vaccination service outlet that was opened at Tanjungkalian Port because that place was the main gate for residents who wanted to leave Bangka Island to Sumatra by land.

He said that during this year's Eid, the government issued a policy of easing cross-regional travel, with several requirements to control the transmission of COVID-19, so that to this day tens of thousands of residents take advantage of the opportunity to go home through this route.

"Today, as many as 137 people were vaccinated at Tanjungkalian Port, today it is still in process and has not been recapitulated", he said.
