Plt. The Director General of Disease Prevention and Control of the Ministry of Health, Maxi Rein Rondonuwu, expressed his appreciation to Bluebird Group for the initiative to collaborate with the Ministry of Health to carry out mass vaccination activities for the elderly and public transportation drivers.
