The elderly group is also a priority of the government's vaccination program. The number of elderly people who have received the Covid-19 vaccine is 4,871,507 for the first dose and 3,218,316 for the second dose. These numbers only reach 22.60% and 14.93% of the target, respectively.

Health workers who have received the vaccine number 1,600,274 for the first dose and 1,462,171 for the second dose. These numbers reach 108.95% and 99.55% of the target, respectively.

Meanwhile, children aged 12-17 who have received the first dose only reached 996,200, or 3.73% of the target. Of this number, only 22,553 people, or 0.08% of the target, received the second dose. This is because child vaccination only began at the end of June 2021.

Although vaccination has been underway, the public is urged to remain disciplined in implementing the 3M health protocols: wearing masks, maintaining distance, and washing hands with soap. This is important to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
