JAKARTA - A number of millennial group organizations support the presence of the COVID-19 mutual cooperation vaccine in order to accelerate the vaccination process in the country. Coordinator of the Indonesian Millennial Movement, M Adhiya Muzakki in his statement in Jakarta, Wednesday, July 14, said support flows from youth organizations including the Indonesian Millennial Movers (PMI), the Indonesian Public Policy Assembly (IPPA), the Indonesian Santri Communication Forum (Foksi), and the Indonesian Youth. Circle (IYC).

"The presence of this mutual cooperation vaccine will actually speed us out of the pandemic zone. It's just that some people take advantage of it for certain political interests," Adhiya said as reported by Antara.

According to Adhiya Muzakki, the government's efforts to achieve group immunity must get support from various groups, including millennials. Adhiya noted that vaccination in Indonesia is still relatively low. With such a large population, Adhiya said it would take a long time to complete the national vaccination.

Accelerated Vaccination

Therefore, according to him, the presence of mutual cooperation vaccines intended for individuals will help accelerate vaccination in Indonesia.

Millennial groups, continued Adhiya, encourage all political elites not to accuse each other and blame each other. Because now is not the right time to look for the stage and public sympathy. "No need to blame each other, let's be together. Don't even make this a momentum for imaging," he said.

Meanwhile, the General Chair of the Indonesian Public Policy Assembly (IPPA) Muara Torang, said that the policies that have been taken by the government must have been policies that have been carefully discussed through expert studies.

Torang said the pandemic could not be predicted when it would end and could last a long time. Prolonged pandemic conditions certainly have consequences, such as burdening the country if everything has to be borne by the government.

Considering the consequences of the pandemic, Torang invites all components to unite to face the pandemic problem together because the culture of the Indonesian nation is mutual cooperation.

"Earlier in the pandemic, rapid tests were borne by the government but later paid for. Why not also apply this to COVID-19 vaccination, but still under government supervision," he said.

Chairman of the Indonesian Youth Circle (IYC) Mufti said the presence of the mutual cooperation vaccine does not necessarily replace or eliminate the people's vaccine program that is provided by the government for free.

Instead, he said, it would benefit the small people and the government because individual vaccines were aimed at large companies with many employees. "The government's steps are right. Small people get free vaccines, companies pay, the state gets income. The vaccination process is getting faster, but it doesn't cause the state's finances to collapse," he said.

General Chairperson of the Indonesian Santri Communication Forum (Foksi) Natsir expressed his full support for the government's efforts to accelerate national vaccination.

As a student representative, he longs to gain knowledge face-to-face. The most important knowledge is character, while character will not be obtained through the educational process during a pandemic.

Therefore, he supports every government policy in accelerating the vaccination process to help deal with COVID-19, including using mutual cooperation vaccines. "For our common good, vaccination must be accelerated. Pay or free, as good citizens, we must vaccinate to achieve our herd immunity," he said.
