SEMARANG - The Semarang City Government, Central Java, was forced to close a number of vaccination centers following the depletion of the COVID-19 vaccine supply.

The Mayor of Semarang, Hendrar Prihadi, said that the supply of vaccines for the capital city of Central Java had not yet arrived.

The mayor, who is familiarly called Hendi, did not know for certain the cause of the delay in the supply of this vaccine.

"I don't understand where the problem is, because the President stated that the national vaccine stock is still very large," said Hendi, quoted by Antara, Friday, July 30.

However, he said, the Semarang City Government continues to build communication with the Central Java Provincial Government to obtain additional vaccine supplies, considering the city's needs are quite large.

"We have just received information to formulate needs for the next week, but there is no certainty when the vaccine will come," he said.

The city of Semarang, he said, is targeting vaccination for 1.3 million inhabitants to achieve communal immunity.

Hendi added that Semarang City is capable of vaccinating around 18,000 to 20 thousand people per day.
