KARAWANG - The Karawang Police have not upgraded the status of the case in the case of an abnormality in the injection process at one of the puskesmas in Karawang Regency. Police need scientific proof.

"We are still investigating, because from the evidence and examination of witnesses, the vaccine was injected, but the victim felt that it was not injected. So we need further investigation and laboratory results," said Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the local Police AKP Oliestha Ageng Wicaksana in Karawang, Antara, Wednesday, August 18.

In handling this case, the authorities must conduct an in-depth study of the citizens' antibodies injected by the vaccinator. This step is to determine whether there is a vaccine that has entered the victim's body or not.

"So the proof must be scientific. Sending samples of victims gradually to the molecular biology laboratory to be checked for antibodies," he said.

He said that the blood sample for the victim was not taken once, but many times. The first blood sample was taken on the first day of vaccination, after the vaccine was injected.

Then blood samples were also taken two weeks after the first vaccine injection. Then blood samples were taken 30 days after the injection of the first and second vaccines.

"So now we are still waiting for the laboratory results," he said.

Kasatreskrim said the results could not be concluded, because the form was a comparative comparison of the entire sample up to 30 days after the second vaccine injection.

The Karawang Police started handling the case about a month ago, after a video recording the vaccination process at the Wadas Health Center, Telukjambe Timur, Karawang went viral on social media.

The video records a health worker suspected of injecting a COVID-19 vaccine into a resident without pressing a needle.
