JAKARTA - 1,000 residents assisted by the Cipinang Penitentiary (Lapas), East Jakarta, took the third dose of COVID-19 vaccination or "booster". This activity is a collaboration with the DKI Jakarta State Intelligence Agency (BIN).

"Today is a booster vaccine activity for our fostered residents. The number of our assisted residents is 3,134 people, the plan is for 1,000 boosters, assistance from BIN Jakarta," said Head of Cipinang Prison Development Division Aldikan Nasution, in Jakarta, Wednesday, April 13, quoted from Antara.

Aldikan added that the inmates who had received the first and second doses of vaccination were quite enthusiastic about participating in the booster.

He said the activity was aimed at the success of the government's program on accelerating vaccination.

"This is indeed part of a government program that we must immediately implement. Thankfully, when they are free it can be made easier," said Aldikan.

One of the assisted residents of the vaccination participants, Ahmad Faisal, said he was happy with the activity.

He said he needed a "booster" vaccine because he would soon be released after serving five years and six months in prison.

"I'm really happy because I'm a little more free to go anywhere, I'm not confused yet," said Ahmad Faisal.
