JAKARTA - A number of residents claimed to have received a COVID-19 booster vaccine certificate even though they had never been injected. This is considered dangerous by an epidemiologist from Australia's Griffith University, Dicky Budiman.

According to him, giving the COVID-19 vaccine, including a booster, must be properly accepted by the public in order to provide protection. Thus, improvements must be made.

"This is dangerous for those concerned, family, and society. Because it means he can become a carrier of the virus and harm others or those closest to him," said Dicky to VOI, Wednesday, July 6.

Dicky then asked the government to review several things. Including, the system used in PeduliLindung.

Not only that, he asked the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) to investigate why people who have not been vaccinated can get a certificate. "Diverted, why did this happen," said Dicky.

Furthermore, the public is asked to be proactive in reporting if this kind of incident occurs. However, this attitude must be supported by the convenience presented by the government.

Don't let Dicky continue, people are actually complicated when they want to report and get the COVID-19 vaccine. Moreover, at this time, people's interest in getting a booster is still low.

"The PeduliLindung system must be reviewed. In addition to later it is easy for the public to convey that they have not been vaccinated but have been vaccinated," he said.

"Anyway, don't make it difficult for him to get the vaccine," continued the epidemiologist.

The government is currently intensifying the provision of a COVID-19 booster vaccine. The reason is that the number of people who were given this third dose of injection has only reached 51,180,596 people.

However, there are a number of residents who claim to have received a third dose of vaccine certificate even though they have not been injected. One of them is RN.

His confession to VOI, he and his wife were declared to have received the third dose of vaccine because a certificate had been issued. "Even though I have not been injected with a booster dose at all. If the vaccine certificate is listed as Moderna for the third dose," he said on Wednesday, July 6.

In the certificate of the third dose of vaccine issued, he is said to have received a booster. The wife also experienced the same thing, which was stated to have received the third dose of vaccine with the AstraZaneca type.

According to RN, he and his wife are domiciled in Depok, West Java. However, both of them were declared to have received a booster shot at the Bogor Police.
