Solo, Jateng The Government’s Spokesperson for COVID-19 Reisa Broto Asmoro has urged the people at large to complete their second dose of vaccine to enable Indonesia to achieve herd immunity immediately.

“Do not forget the second dose of vaccine, especially if someone thinks one dose is sufficient,” she noted while visiting the COVID-19 Vaccination Center at the Surakarta Palace, Central Java, on Saturday.

Asmoro emphasized that all types of vaccines, except for Johnson & Johnson, required two vaccination doses. Hence, all people, who have taken the first dose of vaccine, are expected to take the second dose without further ado.

“Please follow the government’s regulation related to vaccination. If the duration of each vaccine is different, please pay attention to it. If the dose is completed, we can help to end this pandemic soon,” she added.

The spokesperson pointed out that the duration of vaccine injection between the first and second dose may differ across vaccine brands.

For instance, the AstraZeneca vaccine requires a 12-week window period between the first and the second injection, while Sinovac vaccine only requires a time gap of four weeks.

Meanwhile, Asmoro lauded the vaccination center at Solo Palace where more than 15 thousand people had visited.
