Immunization expert dr. Jane Soepardi said since a long time the immunization program in Indonesia has succeeded in preventing infectious diseases. Diseases that have been prevented include measles, diphtheria and pneumonia.

He said, in designing immunization campaigns there are several factors that must be considered. The first factor is that the country must have an effective vaccine to prevent infectious diseases, proven by the results of clinical trials registered with WHO and other official health agencies.
“The second factor that needs to be prepared is a storage device, so that it does not get damaged quickly. Third is the determination of the location of the immunization, usually using one specific location so that people can easily access it,” he said in the dialogue ‘Vaccination Procedure in Indonesia’.
“Then what is also important is the person who will be immunized. If possible, there is already a list of names held by the officer. Then the addition is volunteers who help traffic at the location later,” added dr. Jane.
In addition, support for planned outreach and outreach in advance must also have been prepared. So, everyone who will come to the immunization location is ready and gets sufficient information about the program.
“Every time there is a campaign there is always a new problem. If you do not have previous experience it will be serious. So it is very important for future immunizations, so that people who do not understand at all about the immunization campaign are given the task and responsibility,” he explained.
“In Indonesia there are immunization cadres in every village and have experience in providing immunization services. So these immunization cadres must be used, they may be added from the scouting, youth organizations, and siskamling officers,” continued dr. Jane.

The Ministry of Health has launched a plan to strengthen contact tracing (tracing) with a target ratio of 1:30, which means that from one positive patient, 30 of the patient’s closest contacts will be traced.
“Another effort that is being made by the government to suppress the transmission of COVID-19 is to realize a vaccine program for the people. For this, the government is preparing vaccines and immunization procedures later. The Ministry of Health has also trained more than 8,600 vaccinators out of the 23,000 vaccinators who are planned to be prepared to support the program. the immunization campaign later, “he concluded.
