JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta, Ahmad Riza Patria, admitted that currently, the achievement of COVID-19 vaccination per day in Jakarta has decreased from before. Currently, less than 100 thousand citizens are vaccinated per day.

"Indeed, at this time (vaccination achievements) have decreased somewhat because there are already so many people that it is no longer easy to mobilize people to come", said Riza at the DKI DPRD building, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, September 15.

With the achievement of vaccinations that have already passed the target of 11 million residents in the capital, Riza sees that the DKI Provincial Government is increasingly finding it difficult to comb through residents. Given, there are still 2.5 million Jakarta residents who have not been vaccinated.

"It's hard to find the ones that haven't yet. So the problem is because it's almost finished, huh. We're combing the scattered ones. That's about it", said Riza.

Meanwhile, Head of the Epidemiology and Immunization Surveillance Section of the DKI Jakarta Health Office, Ngabila Salama, said that of a total of 8.9 million DKI residents aged 12 years and over, only 6.4 million DKI Jakarta residents have been vaccinated with the first dose and 4 million have been vaccinated. second dose.

If you add non-DKI residents, currently the provincial government has injected vaccinations to 10.1 million people. Currently, the DKI Provincial Government is targeting 14 million residents who are active in Jakarta to be vaccinated.

Millions of DKI Jakarta residents who have not been vaccinated have several reasons, including COVID-19 survivors who have not recovered for 3 months, have comorbidities, and do not want to be vaccinated.

For people who do not want to be vaccinated against COVID-19, said Ngabila, they view that vaccines are not effective in preventing transmission of the Coronavirus. Then, some are worried about side effects, so they are still waiting for certain vaccines that are not yet available in Indonesia.

"So we have to be really careful. We're still looking for 2.5 million people in Jakarta who haven't actually been vaccinated. Is it really the population data that we need to revitalize? If it's related to the phenomenon of people choosing vaccine brands, we don't recommend it", she said.
