Jakarta, August 19, 2021
The Ministry of Health has updated the website vaccine.kemkes.go.id. The menu, which initially only contained vaccine status and the COVID-19 situation, has now been added to a vaccine stock menu, to increase transparency and control over vaccine stocks both at the provincial and district/city levels in real-time.
“Currently the Ministry of Health’s vaccine dashboard has been updated, so it is easier for users to monitor the estimated availability of vaccine stocks and update data on the number of vaccines by region, with the smallest units being districts/cities,” said Siti Nadia Tarmizi, Spokesperson for the COVID-19 Vaccination of the Indonesian Ministry of Health in a press statement. on the Ministry of Health’s Youtube on Thursday (19/8).
In the new menu, the Ministry of Health provides a visualization in the form of a map in which each region is distinguished by its color in order to speed up and facilitate the classification of vaccine availability updates in the regions. The blue color shows the estimated safe vaccine stock for more than 14 days, the green color the estimated vaccine stock is sufficient for 10-14 days, the yellow color is sufficient for 7-10 days, and the red color is less than 7 days.
Nadia’s spokesperson detailed that the data presented in the vaccination dashboard came from the results of recording and reporting vaccines and the logistics of implementing the COVID-19 vaccination using an electronic logistics monitoring system, namely Bio Tracking and SMILE (Electronic Immunization and Logistics Monitoring System).
SMILE is a platform that contains real-time data about the vaccine distribution cold chain which includes the quantity, batch number and expiration date of vaccines received from distributors at every level and storage locations from the provincial level to the Puskesmas.
This recording is to ensure that the central and regional vaccine stocks are the same as well as a form of transparency towards the management of the COVID-19 vaccine, so it is important for officers responsible for vaccine logistics to update receipts, as well as entry and exit of vaccines at their respective facilities, using mobile phones. .
Furthermore, records made through SMILE will be reported back in real-time to the COVID-19 Vaccination One Data Information System, to be displayed on the vaccination dashboard and will be updated regularly once a day at 17.00 WIB.
Given the importance of the data, Spokesperson Nadia encourages local governments and provincial and district/city health offices to take advantage of the SMILE platform to periodically update the availability of vaccine stocks in their regions. So that the data can be used as a basis for the government to determine the allocation of vaccines to the area.
“We urge FASKES to carry out routine and complete data input so that the estimated stock of vaccine doses in the field and the estimated remaining days of vaccine stock availability are monitored in real time,” said Spokesperson Nadia.
This is important considering that the speed and timeliness of vaccine distribution to regions supported by cooperation and collaboration from all elements of the nation will greatly determine the national vaccination coverage target.
For information, until now the total vaccine that has come to Indonesia is around 190 million doses, both in the form of bulk (raw materials) and ready-made vaccines. Today, it is planned that 2.5 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine will return to Indonesia.
Meanwhile, out of the total available vaccines, around 84.5 million doses of vaccine have been injected, of which 54.9 million were the first doses; 29.5 million second dose and 321 thousand third dose (booster) for health workers.
