Budi targets student vaccination and door-to-door vaccination to reach 50 thousand people, consisting of 15 thousand junior and senior high school students and 20 thousand people.

“BIN pays very serious attention to special vaccination programs for children aged 12 to 18 years,” he explained.

In addition, Budi hopes that the ‘door to door’ vaccination method which is also carried out by other countries can increase participation and reach families who do not have access to vaccines.

Meanwhile, President Joko Widodo requested that the implementation of vaccinations be accelerated so that communal immunity can be achieved.

Thus, he hopes that by the end of the year 180 million Indonesians have received the vaccine.
