JAKARTA - Polda Metro Jaya has prepared a new strategy in order to meet the vaccination target of 100 percent of Jakarta residents on August 17. The way to do this is by holding a door-to-door vaccination.

"We will plan at the end that we will carry out door-to-door vaccinations for Jakarta," said the Head of Public Relations of the Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Yusri Yunus to reporters, Wednesday, August 11.

The door to door vaccination strategy will be implemented as the time approaches 17 August. This strategy is carried out to make it easier for residents who cannot get vaccinated due to limitations.

"If there are those who still don't come there with limitations, for example they are sick or can't walk and so on," said Yusri.

In implementing this strategy, the role of RT/RW and volunteers will be put forward. Because, they know best who has not been vaccinated due to limitations.

"We put forward the RT RW volunteer friends who know which citizens have not been vaccinated but cannot come to the vaccine booth even though they are close, we will prepare everything, so we will pick up the ball there," said Yusri. Metro Jaya targets to vaccinate around three hundred thousand DKI Jakarta residents until August 17. So, on the independence day of Indonesia, the entire community has been vaccinated against COVID-19.

"The remaining vaccination coverage that must be met by Jakarta is 311,122, which we will continue to pursue so that we can achieve the target of the Ministry of Health," said Head of the Free Vaccination Task Force of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Herukoco to reporters, Wednesday, August 11.

Based on data as of August 10, about 8.6 million people have been vaccinated out of a total of 8.9 million Jakarta residents. Thus, the percentage of vaccination reached 96.5 percent.

"It reached 8,630,089 people or 96.5 percent of the target set by the Ministry of Health, namely 8,941,211 people," said Herukoco.
