The Indonesian government targeted COVID-19 vaccination for 3,006,689 people in Jakarta, comprising healthcare workers, public officials, and the elderly. As of Wednesday, May 5, 2021, vaccination coverage for these three groups exceeded 50% of the target.
Specifically, healthcare workers achieved 117.02% coverage for the first dose and 102.44% for the second dose. Public officials reached 66.53% coverage for the first dose, but only 38.17% for the second dose.
The elderly in Jakarta achieved 63.27% coverage for the first dose and 51.29% for the second dose. This elderly vaccination coverage in Jakarta is significantly higher than the national average of 12%.
Even after vaccination, the public must continue to adhere to the 3M health protocol when outside the home: wearing a mask, maintaining distance and avoiding crowds, and washing hands with soap. This step is crucial to suppressing the spread of the coronavirus in Indonesia.
