Merdeka.com – Minister of Health Budi Gunadi Sadikin revealed the reason for adding three types of vaccines in the complete routine immunization program, namely pneumococcal conjugate caccine (PCV), rotavirus, and human papillomavirus (HPV).
HPV vaccine to prevent the risk of cervical cancer, PVC to protect the body from infection with pneumococcal bacteria, while rotavirus to prevent vomiting or gastroenteritis. According to Budi, the addition of the three vaccines is to reduce maternal and child mortality.

Most maternal deaths are caused by cervical and breast cancer. While most child deaths are caused by diarrhea and pneumonia infections.
“We check that there is a vaccine for the mother, it is a cervical cancer vaccine, (a vaccine) for breast cancer is not yet available. Furthermore, to prevent pneumonia in children by using PCV and diarrhea vaccines, there is a rotavirus vaccine,” he said, quoted from a press release, Sunday (4/24). ).
