JAKARTA - The COVID-19 Task Force reports 231,933 people have received booster vaccines, according to today's data.

Reported by ANTARA, Sunday, July 24, a total of 54,567,854 residents in Indonesia have received the COVID-19 booster vaccine.

In addition, there was an increase in the number of recipients of the first COVID-19 vaccine to 34,340 people.

The total number of perpetrators of COVID-19 vaccination in Indonesia so far is 202,197,732 people.

In addition, 34,768 Indonesians have undergone a second vaccination. So there are 169,817,932 people who have undergone complete vaccination.

Lead Co-Chair of Global Health Security and COVID-19 Task Force T20 Indonesia Prof Hasbullah Thabrany reiterated that the third dose of COVID-19 vaccination (booster) is very important for people at risk, including children, during the pandemic.

He said vaccines for flu diseases such as COVID-19 usually do not last a lifetime, as in the case of polio. Therefore, it is necessary to inject a booster vaccine at periods when the antibodies produced from the vaccine in the body are reduced.
