Surabaya City Health Service Achieves 103.64% Polio Immunization for National Sub Week

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com January 24, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

The Surabaya City Health Service (Dinkes), East Java recorded that the achievement of the National Immunization Sub Week (PIN) for Polio for the first round which was held on January 15-21 2024 reached 103.64 percent.

“The Polio Sub PIN achievement was 341,612 children or 103.64 percent,” said Head of the Surabaya City Health Office, Nanik Sukristina, to ANTARA in Surabaya, Wednesday.

This number is higher than the projected target, namely 329,616 children aged 0-7 years or less than a day aged 8 years.

Nanik said that the percentage of immunization or polio vaccines given to children in the city of Surabaya cannot be separated from the awareness of the local community.

“There are no significant obstacles, because public awareness about the importance of providing Sub PIN Polio immunization from a health perspective has greatly improved,” he said.

Nevertheless, Nanik does not deny that there are still a handful of parents who are reluctant to take their children into the first round of the Sub PIN Polio event.

However, this problem can be overcome through outreach patterns, either by collaborating with cross-sector officers or by using social media campaigns.

“Socialization of the Polio Sub PIN through social media, leaflets, posters, video screenings and the Mayor’s voice in strategic places, so that obstacles that arise in the implementation of the Polio Sub PIN can be minimized,” he said.

Apart from that, the local Health Office is also accelerating the Polio Sub PIN by spreading the implementation locations in each RW hall and implementing a sweeping strategy or sweeping to people’s homes.

This method is to ensure that children who fall into the Sub PIN Polio category can be maximally immunized.

“The Puskesmas team went to the target houses collaboratively with sub-districts, sub-districts, PKK Mobilization Team (PPK), Great Surabaya Cadres (KSH), RT/RW and academics involved in the Surabaya City Polio Sub PIN team,” he said.

Apart from that, the Health Office has also opened Polio Sub PIN service post centers in public places, such as at stations, terminals, malls, markets, places of worship, recreation areas and children’s play areas.

Polio Immunization Campaign Targets 106,000 Children in Pamekasan Regency, East Java

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com January 19, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

A total of 106 thousand children in Pamekasan Regency, East Java were targeted for polio immunization, the implementation of which started from January 15 2024 to February 25 2024.

Acting Regent of Pamekasan Masrukin in Pamekasan, East Java, Friday said that the 106 thousand children who were targeted for polio immunization were spread across 178 villages and 11 sub-districts in 13 sub-districts throughout Pamekasan Regency.

“The target we want to achieve from this total target is at least 95 percent, so that in this way, children’s immunity to various types of diseases can be achieved, because polio immunization is actually an effort to build body immunity,” he said.

Therefore, continued the regent, to realize this minimum target, his party involved the active role of all parties, including the government, security forces, community leaders and posyandu cadres spread across all villages and sub-districts throughout Pamekasan Regency.

According to him, this immunization, in the form of a drop vaccine, targets children between the ages of zero and eight years with two stages of vaccination.

This effort is important, because polio is an infectious disease that is transmitted orally and ingested through feces, and early prevention is really needed as an anticipatory measure.

Acting Regent Masrukin further revealed that since 2014 Indonesia has succeeded in receiving a polio-free certificate together with WHO member countries in the South East Asia Region (SEARO).

This effort, he continued, came after the government, through the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, carried out a long struggle for various immunization programs which were promoted and continue to this day.

Indonesia’s freedom from polio does not mean that this virus has disappeared from the face of the earth. So far, children are still safe because they have a complete immunization shield, so that the body’s immunity is formed.

“Therefore, complete immunization must be carried out, and healthy living behavior must be taught to children from an early age,” said Masrukin.

The number one person in the Pamekasan Regency Government further explained that in December 2023 two positive cases of polio were found and one case in January 2024. This finding was quite surprising because previously, Indonesia had been declared safe from polio cases.

Due to this extraordinary incident (KLB), the government took strategic steps to prevent it through Sub PIN Polio activities which were held simultaneously starting today in Yogyakarta, Central Java and East Java.

“For Pamekasan as in other districts/cities, polio immunization is intended for children under eight years of age with two polio drops administered, namely in January and February 2024,” he explained.

The first session will be from 15 to 21 January 2024 and the second session will be from 19 to 25 February 2024 at all designated posyandu, health centers and schools.
