MEDAN - The City Government (Pemko) of Medan, North Sumatra, reported to the central government that the COVID-19 vaccine reserves in this area were very minimal. This condition makes the second dose injection late.
"We said it yesterday at the coordination meeting to evaluate the progress and follow-up of PPKM level 4 outside Java-Bali," said Medan Mayor Bobby Nasution, quoted by Antara, Thursday, July 29.
During the online meeting, he continued, Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto, who chaired the meeting, had asked for a response from the Minister of Health, Budi Gunadi Sadikin.
Because, said Bobby Nasution, not a few townspeople are wondering about the delay in the injection of the second dose of vaccine, fearing that the first dose will be in vain.
"Alhamdulillah, the Minister of Health said that in the near future the Ministry of Health will distribute vaccines to the regions. It is hoped that in August the vaccine supply will improve," Bobby said.
The Mayor of Medan also conveyed the development of COVID-19 cases in the city of Medan, including the positivity rate (the ratio of cases of exposed residents) reaching 23 percent with a total of 2,900 tests per day.
"Currently, we are indeed increasing testing from before, which was still below 2,000 per day," said Bobby Nasution.
