BADUNG - Bali Governor Wayan Koster admitted that he had received the third dose of booster injection.

This was conveyed by Koster when giving a speech at the Individual Company Application Lunching event, in Nusa Dua, Badung Regency, Bali, Friday, October 8 evening.

Initially, Governor Koster explained about the development of the COVID-19 situation on the island of Bali which continued to improve. Koster also explained that the vaccination rate in Bali is almost 100 percent.

"So the vaccination in Bali Province has now reached 98 percent of the other injection, and 78 percent of the second injection. So, that's quite high. That's why we are comfortable sitting together like this," said Koster.

"And I'm sure that all of you guys have had the second vaccine. If I had the booster, it's already the third booster. So, the vaccine is very important," said Koster.

Currently the booster vaccination is only valid for health workers. This is regulated in the Circular Letter of the Director General of Disease Prevention and Control Number: HK.02.01/1/1919/2021. The government does not allow groups outside of health workers to be injected with the third dose of vaccine.
