JAKARTA - The South Jakarta City Government recorded that the first dose of vaccination for the elderly in the region has jumped 27 percent in the last two weeks.
The increase in the percentage of elderly who took vaccinations was due to the incessant socialization and optimization of the role of government officials in inviting the elderly to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
"Two weeks ago (vaccination for the elderly) we were still around 50 percent, but Alhamdulillah, now it has reached more than 75 percent," said South Jakarta Mayor Acting Task Force Isnawa Adji in Jakarta, as reported by Antara, Wednesday, April 21.
According to him, the first dose of elderly vaccination has been given to 138 thousand elderly people from the target of 179,249 people, or 77.18 percent.
The vaccination for the elderly will be implemented in early March 2021 and is still being encouraged to this day.
He expressed his appreciation to all elements, from medical personnel to RT / RW level officers to village heads and sub-district heads. "Currently we are at number two for the highest elderly vaccination achievement in DKI Jakarta," said Isnawa.
Head of the South Jakarta Health Office, Muhammad Helmi, added that the second dose of vaccine has reached 51.47 percent.
"The highest in the Kebayoran Baru area reaches 253 thousand people. We understand that in Kebayoran Baru there is a vaccination center from BPSDM," he said.
