The Spirit Of Booster Vaccination In Solo Sagging, Mayor Of Gibran: Everything Has Been Done, Enthusiasm Has Dropped

SOLO - Vaccination booster or booster in Solo is still a concern of local governments following their achievements so far which are still quite low.

"Yes, we continue to pursue it, now the achievement is around 55 percent," said Solo Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka in Solo, Friday, June 3.

He said that the current focus of giving booster vaccinations was at puskesmas to make it easier for the public to reach out and so that health workers would also be more focused.

However, he admits, currently people's enthusiasm for following booster vaccinations has decreased. Moreover, in June there is the implementation of the National Child Immunization Month (BIAN) program.

Regarding the low enthusiasm of the community to participate in the booster vaccination, he said, the local government had made various efforts, one of which was by cooperating with community organizations.

"Uwis kabeh (everything has been done), the enthusiasm has indeed dropped," he said.

Previously, the Head of the Surakarta City Health Office (DKK) Siti Wahyuningsih said that until now the government will continue to boost the achievement of booster vaccinations among the community. Until last week, he said, the realization of booster vaccination in Solo was only 54.89 percent.

"The increase is very slow, even though the vaccine has the personnel ready. This June we are speeding up the vaccination," he said.

He also asked the community to cooperate in participating in the booster vaccination program so that immunity among the community was quickly achieved.
