SOLO - The City Health Office (Surakarta), Central Java will concentrate COVID-19 vaccinations at Graha Wisata Niaga starting next week to streamline health workers during the joint leave period ahead of Eid.

"In this joint leave, we have to anticipate. We are on standby at five posts, on the other hand there are also services at the puskesmas," said Head of Surakarta DKK Siti Wahyuningsih in Solo as reported by Antara, Friday, April 22.

COVID-19 vaccination will be centralized at Graha Wisata Niaga with Terminal Type A Tirtonadi to anticipate travelers who have not received the vaccine.

"However, this terminal can also be used for passengers and the general public," he said.

The centralization of vaccination activities will be carried out from April 25-7 May 2022.

Regarding the overall vaccine stock owned by the Surakarta City Government currently as many as 22,000 doses which are estimated to be completed within one week.

"This I have submitted, next week to submit again," said Siti.

The achievement of booster vaccinations is currently still in the range of 46 percent or still far from the initial target of 70 percent until before Idul Fitri.

"It's difficult to reach the target. There are still less than 24 percent or around 100,000 (people) who need to be vaccinated. So one week 15,000 people must be vaccinated," said Siti.

If you look at the current conditions, it is estimated that by the time of Eid, the vaccination achievement will only slightly increase to 48 percent.
