In Tangsel, there are 28 hospitals, 47 clinics, 63 independent practices, 29 health centers or PKM with a total of 167 places that are ready to vaccinate COVID-19.

Although already prepared, the Tangsel Health Office admits that it is not certain about the mechanism for distributing vaccines at the city and district levels.

"We are still waiting for the distribution from the province, but we are already preparing for this first phase of the vaccine," he said.
