Then, according to him, the implementation of health protocols and tightening community activities through the Emergency Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) and Micro-scale PPKM policies, as well as 3T health protocols strengthening, is not complete if vaccination activities do not go well.
Vaccination, said Budi, complements efforts to reduce the rate of transmission quickly and control the pandemic much better, apart from maintaining discipline in health protocols and complying with government policies such as Emergency PPKM.
"Therefore, let the community work together with the government to make the vaccination program a success. The best vaccine is the one that is already available. Let's hurry up with vaccination to accelerate the achievement of communal immunity", he concluded.
