JAKARTA - The Surakarta City Government has carried out mobile vaccinations to make it easier for the public, especially the elderly to get the COVID-19 immunization.

"We are trying to continue to accelerate vaccination as an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and to recover the economy. The mobile car service for the vaccination program itself starts today," said Head of the Surakarta City Health Office (DKK) Siti Wahyuningsih on the sidelines of mobile vaccination activities in the Ngarsopuro area of ​​Solo, Tuesday.

He said that in fact the car for the mobile vaccine itself has been scheduled until the end of this month to several locations that are far from health care facilities.

"The car is also big, the target is that in one day we can serve up to 100 participants. Hopefully, this can get closer to the community. Thank God the enthusiasm of the community is extraordinary," he said.

However, he said, if the enthusiasm of the people is high, the participants will be increased by up to 10 percent. Furthermore, if there are still many participants, they will be directed to come to the nearest health facility.

"If it's close to the PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital or to the Stabelan Health Center," he said.

He also hopes that with this mobile vaccination car, vaccine achievements, especially for the elderly group, namely those aged 50-60 years to the elderly, namely over 60 years, can increase and the community's immunity will be better.

Meanwhile, for the vaccine requirements that must be brought by the public is to bring an electronic identity card. Furthermore, those who bring two vaccine participants will be given free vaccinations.

The Mayor of Surakarta, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, said that at the vaccination service, participants who came could be served directly.

"We are making this effort to accelerate the achievement of vaccination targets for the elderly because this group is among the most vulnerable to being infected with COVID-19 and we need to protect it together," he said.
