DENPASAR - Denpasar City Health Office, Bali, has started distributing Moderna vaccine for the third vaccination for 10,991 health workers to hospitals and health centers.
"We took the third vaccine at the Bali Health Office for health facilities in the Denpasar City area. The target number is 10,991 people with the Moderna type vaccine," said Head of Denpasar City Health Office, dr. Ni Luh Sri Armini quoted by Antara, Monday, August 2.
Sri Armin said the distribution of vaccines to several hospitals to health centers was carried out starting Monday (2/08). He said, Denpasar City received the highest number of doses, namely 770 vials compared to other districts.
"Yes, most of them are in Denpasar, Bali, of course we still prioritize health workers who do directly provide services to the community and who handle COVID patients," he said.
Sri Armin emphasized that all health workers must be vaccinated for this third dose. This is because health workers are in direct contact with COVID-19 patients, so this vaccine can protect these health workers.
"It is mandatory (health workers) to be vaccinated if they meet the requirements because they are in direct contact with patients and later they don't know whether they (patients) are OTG or not. So it's very risky," he continued.
The vaccination process is expected to be carried out at each location of the health facility so that it is faster and more efficient.
The third vaccination was carried out at each location of the health facility, applicable to all private and public hospitals and health centers.
"Each health facility will carry out vaccinations to make it more effective and efficient and it will no longer be difficult to come here and there. So where they work, the vaccinator facilities are the health facilities," he said.
Based on data from the Bali Provincial Health Office, as many as 40,786 health workers in the Bali region will participate in the third vaccination with the Moderna vaccine.
