THOUSAND ISLANDS - The Head of Pulau Kelapa Seribu Islands, Irfan Damanhuri, supports the COVID-19 vaccination service at night for residents of the local village during Ramadan 1443 Hijrah.

"If the vaccination service is not possible during the day, we can carry it out at night", Irfan said in his statement in Jakarta, Monday, April 4.

Irfan said that his party will also socialize the vaccine service at night so that the enthusiasm of the residents remains high and all vaccination service officers are ready at the location.

The Ministry of Religion has issued a circular and the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) has issued Fatwa Number 13 of 2022, that vaccination does not cancel fasting.

However, the implementation of vaccination at night is still needed, because according to the MUI view that vaccination during the day is feared to be dangerous for people who are fasting due to their weakened physical condition.

"This service is prepared for the night because according to the MUI fatwa during the day it is feared to cause danger due to weak physical conditions", said Irfan, quoted by Antara.

Irfan said that currently, his party is still preparing the technical implementation of the night vaccination which will be held in Kelapa Island Village.

This was discussed with members of the COVID-19 Task Force in Pulau Kelapa Village, North Seribu Islands District at a technical meeting for the implementation of the vaccination at night.

So that the village has not been able to determine the date for the start of the vaccination that night.
