MEDAN - Medan Mayor Bobby Nasution emphasized that the Medan City Government was not involved in the implementation of mass vaccinations that sparked chaos at the Multipurpose building, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra.

"There is no involvement of the Medan City Government in the mass vaccination. I want to convey, Pancing (the Multipurpose Building) is not an area of Medan City," said Bobby Nasution in Medan, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, August 4.

Bobby Nasution ensured that the administration of the mass vaccination was not carried out by the Medan City Government and the vaccine did not belong to this city.

This explanation was conveyed by the Mayor to answer and at the same time straighten out a number of reports that said mass vaccination in the city of Medan ended in chaos.

As is known, the implementation of mass vaccination was reported to have been chaotic because of the large number of participants at the Multipurpose Building, Willem Iskandar Street, Deli Serdang Regency, Tuesday (3/8).

"So, don't say it's in the city of Medan, but Deli Serdang which borders the city of Medan. Of the residents who participated in the mass vaccination, there must be people in the city of Medan, not just Deli Serdang. That's what I need to convey," he said.

The Medan City Government's mass vaccination center is centered at the former Polonia Airport in collaboration with Haladoc and BUMN. In addition, there are 105 health facility points with details of 41 puskesmas, 30 general hospitals, 17 hospitals, and 17 clinics.

"Every mass vaccination, we must apply health protocols strictly. Basically, the implementation of vaccination stops the spread of COVID-19 by bringing up 'herd immunity' (community immunity)," said Bobby Nasution.
