Residents who want to be vaccinated must bring with them ID (KTP) and come to the nearest puskesmas (community health center). "For now there is no mass vaccination," he said.
With the entry of the Moderna vaccine, Banjarmasin City then has quite a lot of stock, thus the third stage of COVID-19 vaccination can be carried out maximally.
