00:00 [Public Health Minister, Salih Anasution, in Jakarta, December 18, 2021]

00:03 The General Director of the Association of Specialist Doctors for Diseases in Indonesia, or PAPDI,

00:09 Salih Anasution, in Jakarta, on December 18,

00:13 asked the government to continue to prioritize the effort to vaccinate the COVID-19 booster dose

00:20 during the holiday period of 2023-2024.

00:25 Salih assessed the importance of the vaccination of the COVID-19 booster dose

00:31 to add a system to the body immunity of travelers.

00:36 Thus, holiday travelers and new year, which is estimated to reach 100 million people,

00:43 are not easily exposed to the COVID-19 virus which is indeed on the rise.

00:48 The Ministry of Health reported that on average from 4 to 7 people per day

00:53 in November were exposed to COVID-19.

00:56 Now it has increased to 100 people per day, which is confirmed positive since the first week of December.

01:04 But I don't think there is a word of delay,

01:07 because people can travel for a week to a few days,

01:11 if there is an opportunity for a vaccine, especially for certain groups, we still recommend it.

01:16 For COVID, for example, we go back to the previous protocol,

01:20 so keep a distance, keep cleanliness, of course,

01:23 the healthy lifestyle pattern is back again,

01:27 especially for the crowded areas and so on.

01:31 Salih added that the vaccination target target is not only for children,

01:39 the elderly and pregnant women, whose realization is currently more than 70%.

01:45 But also for adults in productive ages, namely 18 to 59 years.

01:52 This is because adults are a group that dominates the vaccination target target,

01:59 so they are most prioritized to achieve the level of community immunity from COVID-19.

02:05 Local businesses and medical workers who are ready to serve vaccination,

02:10 from C-type hospitals to A-type hospitals in each area are also important,

02:15 so that the holiday conditions at the end of the year remain conducive.

02:19 From Jakarta, Emrys Kobima, Afra Augusti, KANTOR BERITA ANTARA, reporting.
