He said, in order to support the government's program in efforts to accelerate and cover the COVID-19 vaccination, several things needed to be conveyed to students.

Heads of PAUD to junior high schools are asked to urge parents/guardians of students to carry out the first and second doses of vaccination, especially for children aged 6-11 years.

"Learning and teaching activities in schools through face-to-face can only be attended by students who have carried out the first and second doses of vaccination," he said.
