The Jembrana police
department vaccinated random citizens during a recent operation on a public
road.
Kompol I Wayan Sinar Yasa, the Head of this Operation
from the Jembrana Police Department, acknowledged that this operation was
carried out on Thursday (2/9) by authorities from the police and Civil Service
officials in front of the Jembrana police department located on Jalan Pahlawan,
Jembrana. This initiative aimed to prevent Covid-19 transmissions in Jembrana
by delivering Covid-19 immunizations to those who had not previously got the
vaccine.
“We stopped everyone to see if they had already been
vaccinated or not, so we could administer the vaccination on the spot to anyone
who hadn't yet.” According to Kompol Sinar Yasa. He further stated that at the
Jembrana police department, persons were merely needed to present their ID
before receiving their vaccine. Others who had missed their appointment to
receive their second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine were also ordered to return
to the location to finish their vaccination.
This vaccination program has welcomed inhabitants from
different parts of Indonesia, in addition to residents of the Jembrana region.
“We were also willing to distribute the vaccine to persons from other locations
as long as they could present their Indonesian identification.” Kompol Yasa concluded.
He further stated that a similar operation would be carried out on a regular
basis in order to achieve herd immunity among the residents of the Jembrana
region.
