North Jakarta Maritime, Agricultural and Food Security Sub-agency (KPKP) Head, Unang Rustanto said today's service was held in RW 01 and 02, Cilincing Urban Village.

"In total, 57 animals get vaccinated today, consisting of 48 cats and nine dogs. We also provide medical services to 21 unhealthy cats," he explained.

The vaccination in Cilincing will be held from February 19 to 22, 2024, by targeting different regions.
