JAKARTA - Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo proposed to the central government that the person in charge of COVID-19 vaccination be handed over to the governor. This is an effort to accelerate implementation and in accordance with the needs of each region.

"So I suggest that the entire coordination of vaccinations should be handed over to the governors. The governor just asked for full accountability so that if it can be done later, we will be able to distribute it according to, one population, two regions, and three speeds that show the commitment of the head of state." local area," said Ganjar after attending an online coordination meeting on Vaccination Development Evaluation in Java-Bali with Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan at the Central Java Governor's office, Semarang, as reported by Antara, Wednesday, July 14.

The number one person in Central Java gave an example of several areas in his area whose citizens are enthusiastic about getting vaccines, such as Semarang City and Grobogan Regency.

According to him, the high enthusiasm is not comparable to the vaccine dose given by the government.

To overcome this, Ganjar said Central Java took the initiative by diverting the allocation of vaccines to areas with low vaccine coverage and sending vaccine doses owned by the Central Java Provincial Government.

"If this concept is later approved, the governor is fully responsible, the governor is in control so that everything can be sub-coordinated, then this will be faster," he said.

In addition, said Ganjar, the local government apparatus is ready and only needs to determine the vaccination site, including support from the TNI-Polri and private agencies that are believed to be able to accelerate vaccination.

While waiting, Ganjar continued, his party is designing if Central Java's vaccination is increased to 300 percent, with calculations starting from the need for human resources, the point of vaccination to the need for vaccine doses.

"So that later we can 'manage' the evaluation of vaccinations, which essentially must be accelerated, no vaccine should be withheld, inject immediately, don't forget to 'realize'," said Ganjar.
