Aceh Health Office | Achievement of ‘immunization research’ outside Java Bali is still low, Ministry of Health requests to continue to boost it

National BIAN results

(Jakarta, 02/12) — All provinces in Indonesia have been asked to continue immunization against polio, pentavalent DPT, HB-HiB and measles, rubella. This follows the results of the hunt immunization which took place from May to November 2022.

Catch-up immunization is an additional immunization to make up for the low coverage of routine immunization, so that children can be protected from death and disability due to disease.

As many as 72.7 percent or 26.5 million Indonesian children have received immunization against measles and rubella compared to the target of 36.4 million children. Where the highest percentage was provided by the Java-Bali region of 97.9% of all results. While 27 other provinces outside Java and Bali accounted for 63.9%.

”The results of the recovery of vaccinations vary. However, if we look at it generally outside Java-Bali provinces. For catch-up immunization for OPV, IPV and pentavalent the results are still very low. OPV 33.6%, IPV 23.8% and pentavalent 30.2%, ” said Plt. Director of Immunization Management Dr. First Yosephine during a virtual press release in Jakarta, Friday (2/12).

Meanwhile, continued Dr. He explained earlier that for the Java-Bali region, the achievement of polio droplet or OPV immunization was 84.6%, which successfully achieved the target. Likewise with the pentavalent immunization which reaches 91.3%. However, this region still fell short of the immunization target for parenteral IPV polio, which reached only 77.3%.

In addition, Dr. earlier he explained in detail the immunization results in each province. Achievement of measles-rubella immunization in all provinces of the Java-Bali region that managed to achieve the 95% target includes West Java, Central Java, Banten, DKI Jakarta and East Java provinces. Meanwhile, only one province outside of Java-Bali has been able to meet the 95% target, namely South Sulawesi.

Each province’s achievements for polio recovery immunization of 80% target, out of Java and Bali regions, only three provinces were able to achieve them, namely Riau Islands, South Sumatra and Lampung. Meanwhile, for the Java-Bali region, only DKI Jakarta province has not yet met the target.

This is the case with parenteral immunization against poliomyelitis (IPV), where only the provinces of Lampung, West Java, Central Java, Banten and East Java have achieved the target, while 29 other provinces have not.

Meanwhile, for the achievement of DPT, HB-Hib pentavalent immunization, in addition to West Java, Central Java, Banten and East Java, there are three provinces outside the Java-Bali region have achieved the goal, namely say Lampung, Riau Islands and South Sumatra.

You said earlier what should we do now considering we already have an outbreak of polio in Aceh right now and the polio immunization coverage in all provinces has not reached the 95% target, so we have appealed on the basis of the HE of the Director-General of P2P has asked all provinces to especially continue polio immunization and ensure that all children aged 12-59 months receive 4 doses of polio drops and 1 dose for immunization injectable polio.

National Childhood Immunization Month (BIAN) held since May is an effort by the Ministry of Health to address the immune gap and minimize the possibility of an expansion of extraordinary events or an increase in cases that can be prevented by the ‘immunization.

In the first phase, BIAN was held in May for 27 provinces outside the Java and Bali regions. While the second round was held in August for the provinces of the Java and Bali regions.

”As a follow-up, all provinces must continue immunization against polio in particular and ensure that all targeted children between 12 and 59 months receive 4 doses of polio drops and 1 dose of injectable polio immunization ” explained Dr. First.

Provinces and districts/cities must also continue to pursue immunization for pentavalent DPT, HB-Hib, and measles-rubella for all children under 5 who have incomplete or incomplete immunization status, through the end of the year. has continued

Another effort is to collaborate with various cross-sectoral sectors to be able to help mobilize the community to be willing and able to complete vaccinations for children. Especially for polio injection because there are currently polio type 2 outbreaks where prevention is only in IPV immunization. said dr. First
