JAKARTA - Pacet Police, Cianjur, West Java, gave a gift of one chicken for the elderly who are ready to get vaccinated as an effort to boost the interest of the elderly to participate in the COVID-19 vaccination.
Even the Pacet Sector Police also provides a vehicle to pick up the elderly who are ready to undergo vaccination as a form of supporting the Cianjur Regency Government program, Nyaah Ka Kolot or loving parents and fully supports vaccination for the elderly.
"We are preparing 200 live chickens to be given to the elderly who are ready to get vaccinated. This effort is made to boost the elderly vaccination target which is still low in Cianjur," said Pacet Police Chief AKP Galih Apria in Cianjur, reported by Antara, Tuesday, June 8.
He explained that the lack of interest in vaccination in the Pacet and Cipanas areas made Forkopimcam in two areas to look for ways to attract the interest of residents, especially the elderly, so that 300 elderly people from two sub-districts received the first dose of vaccine which was held at the Pacet Police Headquarters yard.
"In accordance with the target of 300 elderly people undergoing the first vaccination and the second vaccination will be continued after two weeks. They not only get live chickens, but we pick them up back and forth using the existing police operational vehicles," he said.
The Pacet Health Center Immunization Coordinator, Anggy Yuslianti, said that the gift of live chickens from the police received high attention from the public, so that the vaccination targets for the two sub-districts could be met. In fact, his party assessed that the participation rate of the elderly was quite high when they were lured by gifts.
"The quota of 300 Pacet and Cipanas sub-districts has been fulfilled. The gift of live chickens is quite effective in increasing the interest of the elderly to get vaccinated," he said.
For the second stage of vaccination, he added, hundreds of elderly people will return to undergo it after the next two weeks.
