JAKARTA - The Johar Baru Sub-district Health Center has started serving Pfizer vaccine injections for residents aged 12 years and over in slum areas (Slum Area). The number of vaccinations reached 100 people and started on Wednesday, August 25, yesterday.

"This Pfizer vaccine can also be used for pregnant women and people who have autoimmune conditions, but of course it is accompanied by a doctor's statement," said Head of the Johar Baru District Health Center, Hayfa Husein when confirmed, Thursday, August 26.

He said this vaccine is used for residents who have never received the first or second dose of vaccine.

"We are trusted Johar Baru, previous vaccination recipients have registered through the Jaki application," he said.

Participants who come to the Johar Baru health center must have registered online, otherwise residents cannot get the vaccine. In addition, the Pfizer vaccine is specifically for residents of DKI Jakarta ID cards or domiciled in Jakarta.

Hayfa continued, regarding the Post-Immunization Adverse Events (AEFI) of the Pfizer vaccine, so far residents who have been injected with the Pfizer vaccine admit that they have not felt any effects. During the vaccination process, there were no incidences of mild or severe AEFIs.

"But if there is an effect on the arm that hurts, you can compress cold water and drink lots of water and get enough rest," said Hayfa.
