Because, he said, this requirement could have a negative impact on efforts to recover the economy. "You have to be careful. In the midst of the government's economic recovery efforts, which are still struggling, limiting travel with mandatory boosters, in my opinion, has the potential to harm many parties. and business actors in the transportation sector will certainly be affected again," he explained. The member of the commission, which is partnering with the ministry of transportation, considers the issue of high airfare far more important than the booster vaccination policy as a mobility requirement. According to Irwan, the government should focus on dealing with the issue of the high price of airline tickets.

Due to the fact, Irwan sees that with the vaccination achievements recorded so far, the spread of Corona in Indonesia is still under control. II, and III are in such a way, the evidence is still under control. Why suddenly the mandatory mobility booster. What's wrong?" concluded Irwan.
