Colonel Ckm. Dr. I Made Mardika, Head of the Udayana
Military Health IX, acknowledged that Bali is the province with the best
achievement in giving the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccination to its
inhabitants. “As of Thursday (8/7), Bali is first in Indonesia in delivering
the Covid-19 vaccination, thanks to the cooperation of military and police
officials.” Colonel Mardika stated on Saturday (10/7).
As of Friday (9/7), 84.73 percent of individuals in
Bali had gotten the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, while 25.46 percent had

Colonel Mardika stated that individuals are eager to
participate in the vaccination campaign. “Despite the imposition of an
emergency partial lockdown in Bali from the 3rd to the 20th of July 2021 to
minimize Covid-19 transmissions, the vaccination campaign must continue so that
herd immunity may be acquired sooner to resolve this urgent situation.” Colonel
Mardika went on to say. Mardika said that the military officers will assist the
Bali province administration in finishing the vaccination campaign for 70% of
their people before reopening the border to visitors.
