JAKARTA - The elderly (elderly) can participate in the fourth dose of COVID-19 vaccination even though there is no ticket for the PeduliLindung application.

"It's okay as long as it's proven that the KTP has been around for 60 years," said Head of the Surveillance, Epidemiology and Immunization Section of the DKI Health Service Ngabila Salama in Jakarta, Friday, December 2, quoted by Antara.

The elderly can immediately receive the fourth or second dose of vaccination, especially since it is more than six months after receiving the third dose of vaccine.

Later, health workers will record the fourth dose of vaccination data including the issuance of certificates after vaccination tickets are issued.

These efforts were made to accelerate residents, especially the elderly, to receive vaccination protection.

For now, the priority of the fourth dose of COVID-19 vaccination is currently being given to health workers and the elderly.
