The increase in immunity among members of the public is very important for Bali that will host the G20 Presidency and welcome the guests from various countries.
Jakarta Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin affirmed that multi-party cooperation, involving the public and private sectors, will expedite the government’s third or booster vaccination program against COVID-19 before the G20 Summit.
“Indonesia has started the recovery phase after being hit hard by the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The booster vaccination program is crucial for sustainable recovery while strengthening the citizens’ security against the new variant, Omicron,” Sadikin stated during a press release received here on Saturday.
In 2021, the minister had worked closely with some private technology companies for building the first drive-through vaccine center in Southeast Asia.
“We all have seen the concrete role of technology in boosting the efficacy of vaccination distribution. Hence, we welcome further partnership for the second booster vaccination distribution process with the technology company,” he noted.
Currently, the two private technology companies are cooperating again with the government to distribute the booster vaccination targeting tens of thousands of citizens categorized as prioritized and vulnerable groups as well as online ride-sharing partners in Bali.
