Total five locations were prepared as COVID-19 Vaccination Service Centers in Tidung Island, South Thousand Islands, Thousand Islands. More vaccination locations were added to facilitate people and minimize crowds.

The more people are vaccinated, the faster herd immunity is formed

Thousand Islands Assistant for Government and People's Welfare, Sujanto Budiroso stated, vaccination service is open at 08:00-21:00. This service is provided to facilitate residents, especially fishermen, thus they can participate in COVID-19 vaccination.
