SOLO - The COVID-19 vaccination in Solo City, Central Java has so far reached 82 percent, in line with the accelerated steps taken by the local government.

Head of the Surakarta City Health Office, Siti Wahyuningsih, said that of the 575,230 residents of Solo, at least 417,151 of them must be vaccinated.

With the realization of the vaccination, it means that vaccination injections have been given to as many as 345,299 people. This is what makes the vaccination achievement data in Solo reach 82 percent.

However, from the realization of the vaccination, not all of them are original residents of Solo. Siti said a small number of them are residents from outside the city who work in Solo.

"Solo residents who received the new vaccine 209,000 people," he said.

However, the number of Solo City residents who have received vaccinations has only reached 50.1 percent of the target.

He said some residents outside the city of Solo who had received the vaccine in the city were some of them public service officers. In addition, there are also market traders and workers in shopping centers.

However, his party will continue to try to accelerate vaccination so that all residents who have entered the target data can be reached.

On the other hand, Siti also hopes that residents will be willing to comply with the government's invitation to get vaccinated.

"I hope the people of Solo take advantage of this opportunity well," he said.
