JAKARTA - The Ministry of Industry continues to record the number of workers who are ready to get booster vaccines.
Acting The Director General of the Chemical, Pharmaceutical and Textile Industries (IKFT) Ignatius Warsito said that his party had conducted socialization to the associations and companies in the assisted sectors according to the follow-up to the Minister of Industry Decree 2/2022. This socialization activity is intended to obtain data related to IKFT sector workers who are ready to get booster vaccines.
"We continue to encourage the IKFT assisted industries to carry out booster vaccinations independently with a target of 250 thousand people from the target of 1 million by March 2022. It is hoped that this effort can maintain productivity and the sustainability of industrial activities," he explained as quoted on Sunday, February 27.
Furthermore, based on the Minister of Industry Decree 2/2022, industrial companies and industrial estates are targeted to carry out booster vaccinations for 50 percent of their employees by June 2022. By December 2022, all industrial companies are required to have 100 percent of their employees vaccinated. “We have coordinated with the Ministry of Health. Currently, 18 million doses of vaccine are available for all industrial sectors. Hopefully we can meet the target for the workers and their families," said Warsito.
The implementation of this booster vaccination must be reported in the Industrial Operational and Mobility Activity Permit (IOMKI) through the Ministry of Industry's National Industrial Information System (SIINas).

During the socialization activity, industry players conveyed related to the development of booster vaccination in the industrial environment and their readiness to support the government's one million vaccine program as well as confirming the availability and types of booster vaccines that can be used with facilities from the government.
