The Indonesian government is accelerating the Covid-19 vaccination drive to achieve herd immunity. To reach this target, the government is striving to vaccinate 70% of the population. This is done to protect the community from the coronavirus and reduce Covid-19 cases.
Based on data from August 3, 2021, two provinces have achieved over 70% Covid-19 vaccination coverage. Jakarta's first dose vaccination coverage has reached 75.16% of the population, although only 28.55% have received the second dose.
Meanwhile, Bali, a government priority, has also reached the Covid-19 vaccination target. The Balinese government has administered the first dose to 71.31% of its population. The second dose coverage is 22.55% of the population.
Conversely, the lowest vaccination coverage is in Lampung, with only 6.91% of the population receiving the first dose. The second dose has only reached 4.4% of the population. Papua's vaccination achievement is slightly better, with 8.47% of the population receiving the first dose and 4.35% receiving the second dose.
Nationally, the government has administered the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine to 48,494,768 people. Of these, 21,976,626 people had received the second dose by August 3, 2021.
