Plt. director. Immunization Management, Ministry of Health dr. Prima Yosephine said, immunization is an effort to actively raise or increase a person’s immunity against a disease. Not only complete basic immunization, dr. Prima reminded the importance of complete routine immunization.
“So now we are not only pursuing complete basic immunizations but also pursuing complete routine immunizations,” said Dr Prima, Tuesday (12/4/2022).
Furthermore, the consultant pediatrician, dr. Arifianto, Sp.A(K) said that chase immunization is an effort to provide immunization to individuals because one or more doses of vaccine are left behind than they should be given.
This is important, because immunization produces an immunological response even though it is still below the threshold level of protection, or has not achieved protection for a long period of time. Thus, doctors still need to continue and complete immunizations in order to achieve optimal levels of protection.
