Jayapura City Government Collaborates with TNI-Polri Invites Residents to Get COVID-19 Booster Vaccines

The Jayapura City Government cooperates with the TNI-Polri to invite residents to carry out COVID-19 booster vaccinations.

"Indeed, until now we continue to urge and invite residents to carry out three COVID-19 vaccines to increase herd immunity," said Jayapura Mayor Benhur Tomi Mano, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, April 13 in Jayapura.

Admittedly, until now the coverage of the third vaccine is still relatively low, namely until Monday, April 11, there were only 21,232 people, while currently it is being accelerated by opening vaccination booths.

Even the Jayapura City Police opened a vaccination booth at the Baiturrahim Grand Mosque so that Muslims who wanted to be vaccinated could vaccinate after breaking their fast, he said.

He added that from the reports received, the enthusiasm of the community to come to the outlet after performing the Tarawih prayer was quite high.

Especially now that the government has issued a new regulation related to travel that no longer requires PCR examinations for those who have already carried out booster or booster vaccinations, said BTM.

When asked about the anticipation of an increase in COVID-19 cases after the Eid al-Fitr 1443 Hijri holiday, BTM admitted that he really hopes that people will continue to comply with health protocols by wearing masks when doing activities outside the home.

"The public is asked not to slack off in carrying out health protocols so that there is no increase in COVID-19 cases," hoped the Mayor of BTM.

Currently, there are 143,256 people who have been vaccinated in Jayapura City, and 11 people who have tested positive for COVID-19 spread across Abepura, Heram and North Jayapura districts.
