The COVID-19 vaccination is divided into several stages with the first batch being carried out for health workers, while the second batch that has already started will be carried out for public service workers and the elderly.
To support the second phase of vaccination, the Ministry of Health released registration links for the elderly in 34 provinces last week. It is planned that the vaccination of the elderly and public service workers will begin in the capital city of each province.
Meanwhile, the process of administering vaccines in ministries and state institutions has begun with the Ministry of National Development Planning (PPN) / Bappenas holding a vaccination process which will be carried out today until February 26, 2021.
According to the Minister of National Development Planning / Head of Bappenas, Suharso Monoarfa, vaccinations will be carried out for 2,566 employees.
It is hoped that this process can provide protection for employees who often interact with various parties for the preparation of the 2022 Government Work Plan (RKP). With the support of the Ministry of Health, vaccinations for the employees of the Ministry of National Development Planning / Bappenas today have been carried out for 500 people. (icn/bbs)
