JAKARTA - The COVID-19 Task Force (Satgas) reported that the number of Indonesian citizens who had received a complete dose of the vaccine reached 67.91 million people.

Data from the COVID-19 Task Force, quoted by Antara, stated that the number of residents who had received two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine per day, October 24, increased by 749,708 to 67,915,440 people.

Meanwhile, the number of recipients of the first dose of vaccine recorded today was 760,840. With this addition, the number of recipients of the first dose of vaccine became 113,032,768 people. Meanwhile, vaccination for the third dose increased by 3,224 to 1,102,824 people.

The government plans to vaccinate as many as 208,265,720 million people.

Thus, the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine was recorded to have been given to 54.27 percent of the 208,265,720 residents who were targeted for the COVID-19 vaccination. Meanwhile, residents who have finished undergoing vaccination have only reached 32.60 percent of the total target.

Previously, Spokesperson for Handling COVID-19, Reisa Broto Asmoro, asked the public to complete the second dose of vaccine so that group immunity would be achieved immediately. "Don't forget the second dose of vaccine, especially if there are only one time or think once is enough," said Reisa.

He said all vaccines, except for Johnson & Johnson, require two doses. Therefore, it is hoped that all people who have taken the first dose of vaccine immediately complete it with the second dose.

"Follow what has been proclaimed by the government. If the duration of each vaccine is different, please pay attention to it carefully. The doses are immediately completed so that we can get out of the pandemic immediately," he said.
