Central Java Government Ramps Up Booster Vaccinations in Schools

Purwokerto, Gojateng.com -- Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo has said that the provincial government is working to push up the COVID-19 booster dose coverage by organizing vaccination programs at schools in the province.

"Based on my conversations with the students, many of their parents have not (been vaccinated), many of their grandparents have not (been vaccinated)," Pranowo noted after monitoring the implementation of third-dose vaccinations at Purwokerto 2 Public Vocational School, here on Monday.

For this reason, the government will use schools as centers for third-dose vaccinations so that students can get the vaccine and the vaccination achievement can be accelerated, he explained.

The governor then asked all teachers to support the implementation of third-dose vaccinations.

"We can ask (the students): Have your parents (gotten the vaccine)? Have your grandparents? Have your neighbors? This means, in general, we will be able to know the condition," he said.

That way, it would be possible to invite the community to get the vaccine so that booster vaccinations can be accelerated, he pointed out.

He said he expects the community to remain alert and participate in booster vaccinations without having to be asked first.
