The Cilandak Sub-District Health Center, South Jakarta, reminded local residents to check the PeduliLindungi application for the booster vaccination ticket issued by the Health Ministry.
Head of the Community Health Service Unit at the Cilandak Public Health Center, Tri Novia Maulani, noted that in order to partake in the vaccination, residents must obtain the ticket through the PeduliLindungi application. She delivered the statement here on Wednesday.
"There, the public can see if the ticket for the third shot has appeared or not. If for instance, it has appeared already, then the person can get a booster vaccination at a health facility or center that provides booster vaccination," she explained.
Hence, residents that have not obtained the ticket will not receive booster vaccine services from health workers.
Some 36 elderly people were given the Pfizer type of vaccine at the Cilandak Health Center for their third dose as per the two previously administered vaccines.
Maulani remarked that the Cilandak Health Center would necessitate residents to register through the JAKI application, so as to avoid crowding of patients.
She reminded the people keen on getting booster vaccinations from the government program to ensure that they already had the third ticket and they were in good health.

Moreover, Maulani suggested that the vaccine recipients arrived during operating hours set by the health workers and bring their own stationery to avoid borrowing from other people.
The South Jakarta government has focused on providing the third dose of vaccination to local residents in 10 sub-district health centers.
Head of the South Jakarta Health Office Sub-department, M. Helmi, confirmed that 10 sub-districts in his area will provide booster vaccines starting from this Wednesday.
