The Kedoya Utara Urban Village, West Jakarta has noted that as many as 2,221 elderly people have undergone the COVID-19 vaccination program. Predictably, the number will continue to increase until the end of March.

We're optimistic to reach the target by the end of this month

Kedoya Utara Urban Village Head Tubagus Masarul Iman disclosed the vaccination in his region had touched 4.9 percent or 2,221 people from the target set at 5,771 people.

"The number has yet to touch the target, as most elderly have a history of congenital diseases or experience high blood pressure," he expressed, Monday (3/29).

Therefore he would intensify socialization to the public. That was by collaborating with RT/RW chairmen, PKK cadres, dasa wisma and so forth.

In the meantime, from the vaccination site at SDN 09 Pagi Kedoya Utara, as many as 166 people had passed through the vaccination. From that number, 30 of them received pick-up facilities from the urban village for health reasons and mileage.

"Three official cars have been alerted to serve the elderly. We're optimistic to reach the target by the end of this month," he stressed.
