JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta, Ahmad Riza Patria, appealed to prospective travelers from the capital city to immediately take a third dose of vaccination or booster (booster) before starting their trip to their hometown.
"We urge Jakarta residents who are going home to get a third vaccine or 'booster'," he said at the Jakarta City Hall, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, April 19.
Riza said that the government allows residents to go home with various conditions that must be followed by prospective travelers, among others, related to booster vaccinations before traveling home.
Riza also emphasized to prospective travelers to comply with health protocols (prokes), such as wearing masks and washing hands to protect vulnerable groups. This is because during the homecoming season, contact between people is more likely to occur.
"Especially when we go home, we meet relatives, parents, grandparents, especially those who have comorbidities. So please pay attention to the health protocol," said Riza.
According to Riza, so far the vaccination coverage in DKI Jakarta has been very good.
For the Vaccination Program, the current total dose of one has reached as many as 12,508,810 people with a proportion of 70.3 percent being residents with Jakarta ID cards and 29.7 percent non-Jakarta ID cards.
For the second dose, it has reached 10,634,133 people, with the proportion of 73.4 percent being residents with Jakarta ID cards and 26.6 percent residents with non-Jakarta ID cards. Meanwhile, the total of the third dose of vaccination has reached 3,268,329 people.
