GARUT - Garut Regency DPRD member Yudha Puja Turnawan gave a washing machine as a prize by drawing lots for residents who came to get the COVID-19 vaccination in Sukaresmi District, Garut, West Java.
"I received information from the Garut Health Office that it will vaccinate, so that people want to get vaccinated, I have a washing machine door prize and basic necessities," Yudha said while attending a vaccination activity at the Sukaresmi District Office, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, July 7.
Yudha said a report from the Health Office that the implementation of vaccination in Garut Regency is still quite low, only reaching 190 thousand people from all Garut residents of 2.6 million people.
Meanwhile, the dose of the COVID-19 vaccine in Garut, he said, was still quite large, so public awareness was needed to be vaccinated against COVID-19 as an effort to prevent and break the transmission of the COVID-19 outbreak.
"Not yet 10 percent of Garut residents have been vaccinated against COVID-19, of course this requires the commitment of all parties so that Garut residents want to be vaccinated," said this DPRD member.
According to Yudha, the implementation of the vaccination is still low, it is necessary for other parties to encourage the public to be vaccinated by providing information related to the benefits of the vaccine.
Efforts to encourage people to want to be vaccinated, according to Yudha, can be done by giving gifts so that there is a will and encouragement in the community to be willing to be vaccinated.
"This vaccination is to build herd immunity which can only be achieved with a disciplined process and a high vaccination participation rate," he said.
