East Jakarta Health Sub-agency Head, Indra Setiawan stated, dynamic vaccination program for elderly will continue to be carried out every day in 10 sub-districts. It is not only held in health centers (puskesmas) but also through door-to-door method, where vaccination is held in schools located in residential areas and RW multipurpose fields. Thus elderly residents don't have to go far to health center to get dynamic vaccination service.
