Doctor Aziz also thanked those who had helped educate the public about vaccines, such as the Magelang City Police and the 0705 Magelang Kodim. These two agencies also assist the Health Office (Dinkes) in providing vaccines in Magelang City.
“Thanks to the Chief of Police, Kodim, who have provided education, understanding of the community regarding vaccines that are useful for providing immunity. The side effects of vaccines are not dangerous,” explained Doctor Aziz.
For information, this time the mass Covid-19 vaccination uses the Sinovac and Moderna brand vaccines. For Moderna, it provides fever-reducing drugs (paracetamol) for vaccine recipients because the side effects are different from Sinovac.
The Magelang City Government has also started injecting the 3rd dose of vaccine (booster) using the Moderna vaccine for health workers (nakes) and supporting staff who handle Covid-19.
