JAKARTA - Polda Metro Jaya has started to carry out Independent Vaccinations in a number of buffer areas in Jakarta starting on 17 September. The target locations for the buffer zones include Bekasi cities and regencies, Tangerang, South Tangerang and Depok.

"God willing, on September 17, 2021, we will carry out Phase 2 of the Merdeka Vaccination in the buffer zone or Jakarta agglomeration area," said Metro Jaya Police Chief Inspector General Pol Fadil Imran to reporters, Saturday 11 September.

The Regional Police Chief said that phase 2 of the independent vaccination would start next week. Therefore, the Kapolda also opens opportunities for entrepreneurs and other stakeholders to accelerate the COVID-19 vaccination program.

According to him, the implementation of the 3M and 3T health protocols supported by the acceleration of vaccination has made the COVID-19 pandemic under control.

"If there are friends who want to participate with their generosity, with open arms, God willing, the community will definitely feel it very much and it will be useful for maintaining immunity, and speeding us out of the pandemic," he said.

Previously, the Head of Public Relations of the Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Pol Yusri Yunus said the Medical and Archipelago Division (Biddokkes) of the Polda Metro Jaya would coordinate with the Provincial Governments of West Java and Banten regarding the Free Vaccination program in the agglomeration area.

"Indeed, there are problems with vaccination because vaccinations are in Bekasi, Depok in West Java and also in Tangerang in Banten, but we from Biddokkes have coordinated with the Ministry of Health to prioritize buffers in the capital city," he said. Independent vaccination in the agglomeration area has been running and will be accelerated to accelerate the formation of herd immunity in order to end the COVID-19 pandemic.
