MEDAN - Medan Mayor Bobby Nasution was surprised by the action of dozens of residents waiting for him. There were a number of residents who had been waiting for him to leave the Medan Selayang sub-district office.
Bobby Nasution, who had just attended the opening of the Indonesia Bangkit vaccination center, immediately approached several residents who called him. It turned out that they wanted to complain because they didn't get vaccinated. "We want a vaccine, but we can't, sir. It says the vaccine has run out and that the vaccine must match the domicile," said one resident, quoted by ERA.id, Wednesday, September 8.
Hearing the complaint, Bobby Nasution immediately approached and asked the resident's domicile. It turned out that most of the residents who complained were from Samosir Regency.
However, Bobby Nasution patiently explained to residents, who had been emotional from the start, that vaccination in Medan City was still focused on Medan residents.
"I have to work for my residents first, mother. I will focus on the people of Medan first. Likewise, I will accommodate the complaints of these ladies and gentlemen and will convey them to the competent party," said Bobby Nasution.
Currently, the Medan City Government has only 30 thousand doses of vaccine, while the need for vaccination is 400,000 in Medan City. Therefore, it is not possible to accommodate vaccinations for residents outside the city of Medan.
However, President Jokowi's son-in-law suggested to residents from Samosir Regency who admitted that they could not return to their hometowns because they had not been vaccinated, to come to Haji Adam Malik Hospital in Medan.
Hearing Mayor Bobby's explanation, the Samosir resident was able to understand and asked for help so that he could get the vaccine.
"Perhaps ladies and gentlemen can check at hospitals that provide vaccines without domicile requirements, such as at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital. Ladies and gentlemen can check, we are all healthy," he concluded.
