Vulnerable Group COVID-19 Vaccination Coverage in West Java is Still Low

Liputan6.com, Bandung Head of the West Java Health Office, Nina Susana Dewi, said that the coverage of COVID-19 vaccination for vulnerable groups such as teenagers, pregnant women and the elderly was still low.

In the elderly group, for example, only 30 percent of the population aged over 60 have been vaccinated against the Corona virus. This affects the status of the Enforcement of Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) in an area.

“Now PPKM, what is the relationship between PPKM and the elderly? If we want PPKM level 2 then the total dose (vaccination) must be more than 50 percent, the total dose for the elderly is more than 40 percent. What about level 1? It must be more than 70 percent in total (vaccination) and (vaccination) for the elderly must be more than 60 percent,” said Nina quoted from the RSHS Channel YouTube account, Bandung, Thursday, October 21, 2021.

Nina said specifically for areas that directly intersect (agglomeration), this PPKM level will follow the majority of others.

For example, Nina said, Bandung City should have entered PPKM level 1 but two agglomeration areas, namely Bandung Regency and West Bandung Regency, achieved vaccination COVID-19 less then it will follow the status of both.

“So we must help together to accelerate vaccination in West Bandung Regency and Bandung Regency, especially for the elderly group, pregnant women and teenagers. herd immunity December 2021 in West Java is achieved,” said Nina.
