JAKARTA – Communal immunity or herd immunity in the city of Surabaya will be achieved 100 percent by the end of September 2021. This target was set by the Mayor of Surabaya Eri Cahyadi.
"Currently, the achievement of the first dose of vaccination in Surabaya is around 87 percent and the second dose is around 61 percent," said Mayor Eri in Surabaya, East Java, Sunday, September 5.
Eri is optimistic that he can achieve this target, because now his party receives vaccine shipments every two weeks from the central government.
In fact, according to the Surabaya City Government, the Surabaya Resort Police together with the Regional Leadership Communication Forum (Forkopimda) in that area also carried out vaccinations using vaccine cars in the village.
"We also carry out vaccinations in all health centers in Surabaya," he said.
In addition, the economy in the city of Surabaya during the pandemic will return to normal as usual, if communal immunity is achieved.
"If the residents have been vaccinated, all sectors will be able to move again. All of this is for the welfare of the residents, please pray for them," he said.
