ACEH - The West Aceh District Health Office noted that more than 120 COVID-19 vaccinators had not received honorarium from January to June. The total honorarium that has not been paid has reached Rp1.2 billion.

The head of the West Aceh District Health Office, Syarifah Junaidah, said that the honorarium for the hundreds of vaccinators had not been distributed, because it was currently in the disbursement process.

"We are still trying to disburse it," she said in Meulaboh, quoted by Antara, Friday, June 25 night.

According to her, the honorarium funds have not been able to be distributed because her party is still waiting for technical instructions for disbursing COVID-19 funds, according to regulations from the government.

Syarifah Junaidah said that her party had to be careful in disbursing funds for handling the COVID-19 pandemic, so that later it was hoped that there would be no problems with applicable laws and regulations.

"Because we don't want problems, we have to disburse these funds very carefully," she added.

She asked all vaccinators in West Aceh Regency who have not received the honorarium to be patient, and are expected to continue carrying out their duties as usual.
