Avoid Using NIK By Others, Commission II Of The House Of Representatives Suggests Vaccination Against COVID-19 Using E-KTP

JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of Commission II of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Junimart Girsang, proposed the use of an e-KTP or electronic ID card as an administrative requirement for the implementation of vaccinations. This step, according to him, is to prevent other people using the Population Identification Number (NIK) for COVID-19 vaccination.

As previously reported, there was a resident in Bekasi, West Java, named Wasit (47) who could not participate in the COVID-19 vaccination because his NIK had been used by Foreign Citizens (WNA) to carry out similar vaccinations.

Junimart also asked the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) to make a circular and coordinate with all agencies so as not to serve vaccinations using non-electronic ID cards or manual ID cards.

"The Ministry of Home Affairs needs to write a letter or coordinate with all agencies not to serve someone who still uses a manual ID card," said Junimart Girsang, Thursday, August 5.

"Electronic ID cards are safer if used because they can directly check with the Population and Civil Registry Office if there are things that are suspected," he continued.

Junimart revealed that he had asked the Ministry of Home Affairs regarding the findings of double NIK when used by residents. This is because there are still people who use non-electronic ID cards when taking care of their needs." Double NIK occurs because the NIK inputted by the agency still uses a manual ID card, not an e-KTP. it is impossible to double," said Junimart Girsang. Commission II of the DPR, said Junimart, has also received a report from the Ministry of Home Affairs and will form a Population Data Integrator Team to prevent double NIK. There are no repeated occurrences of double NIK when someone wants to take care of their needs," said Junimart Girsang.
