The Pademangan Sub-district, North Jakarta has noted that as many as 6,869 elderly people have been gone through the COVID-19 vaccination.

We urge residents whose family members are elderly to be registered in the COVID-19 vaccination. Don't worry, we have the shuttle service

Pademangan Sub-district Head Mumu Mujtahid said his party was continuously intensifying the vaccination for the elderly. Based on the results of real data collection in the field, there were around 9,000 elderly people in Pademangan.

"Principally all elderly in Pademangan will take part in the vaccination," he expressed, Monday (4/5).

But, his side still had difficulties to conduct the vaccination such as some still believed false news or information circulating that the COVID-19 vaccine was not halal and unsafe.

"That is what we have to make explanation to them that the news or information is not true," he expressed.

To resolve it, his side also had collaborated with local urban villages, PKK cadres, Dasa Wisma cadres, LMK, FKDM, and RT/RW caretakers to intensify socialization and data collection related to vaccination by directly visiting to residents' homes.

His side also had prepared a shuttle service to the vaccination site for the elderly through operational service vehicles from sub-districts, urban villages and Satpol PP.

"We urge residents whose family members are elderly to be registered in the COVID-19 vaccination. Don't worry, we have the shuttle service," he stated.
