SEMARANG - Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo questioned the reason that four districts/cities in the local province did not receive a vaccine allocation from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia.

"I have asked the Ministry of Health why Cilacap, Wonosobo, Magelang and Pekalongan districts did not receive the vaccine," he said in Semarang, as reported by Antara, Monday, August 30.

Ganjar said the main problem related to this was the arrangement that was too detailed in the allocation of vaccines.

The Ministry of Health has divided vaccine rations not only for districts/cities, but also based on groups, such as community organizations, entrusted by members of the DPR and others.

Ganjar has asked the Ministry of Health not to be too detailed in the distribution of vaccine allocations because in addition to being a hassle for the vaccine interpreter, it is also so that the distribution is evenly distributed as needed.

"I don't understand it, the interests of the center seem too far apart if you divide it to that level of detail. This mass organization is like that, then from the DPR, that's a lot of trouble for us because the ones below are finally withdrawn, 'Come on, let's go to my place first, come on. my group first', so the vaccinators are troublesome," he said.

According to Ganjar, detailed arrangements by the Ministry of Health for the allocation of vaccines can be made if the groups that receive the vaccine allocation can bring their own vaccinators.

"Because if in the end it is given to us, it feels like it will be a tug of war between the main interests. Where we have to complete according to the target number that we have prepared," he said. reported to the Governor of Central Java regarding the existence of four districts/cities that did not receive a vaccine allocation from the central government.

In the details of the vaccine allocation from the central government, there are four regions that did not receive the vaccine allocation for the first phase, namely Cilacap Regency, Wonosobo Regency, Magelang Regency, and Pekalongan City.

"I also don't know why, even though it is precisely the (regions) that need the most, why don't they get, at all, zero, but the second one gets all of them, the allocation from the Health Office is also from the TNI and Polri, but the districts and cities have been detailed," he said.

The Central Java Health Office will distribute the vaccine at once for the first two stages, if we combine slots one and two, there are almost one million doses, namely 992,140 doses of vaccine.
