SEMARANG - Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo appealed to the public to be aware of the spread of fake news or hoaxes related to vaccination to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Regarding vaccination, just follow the provisions of the government, don't believe in hoaxes," he said in Semarang as quoted by Antara, Monday, January 4.

Ganjar explained that not all people can immediately get the COVID-19 vaccine because there are already sequences and priorities for vaccine recipients for health workers.

"Not every person today can be vaccinated because it is the priority for medical personnel services, secondly there is an age limit as well so this is not automatic because the initial number is still limited," he said.

Based on this, Ganjar reiterated that the public did not believe in hoaxes and if they found calls or dubious news to check with the government.

Currently, the Central Java Provincial Government is preparing a gradual implementation of vaccination in communities in 35 districts / cities

The vaccination process will be carried out on January 14, 2021 with the first target recipients are health workers and support personnel in all health facilities who are at the forefront of handling the COVID-19 pandemic.
