The latest data released by the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) reveals that around 66 percent of dead patients from a total of 487 deaths due to the Covid-19 virus in Indonesia during the period January 21 – February 9 2022 had not received two doses of the vaccine.
Secretary of the Directorate General of Public Health of the Ministry of Health, Siti Nadia Tarmizi, quoted from the official website of the Ministry of Health, Monday (14/2), revealed, “The Ministry of Health’s data for the period from January 21 to February 8, 2022, shows that of the 487 Covid-19 patients who died, 66 percent of them had not been completely vaccinated.”
From this data, it turns out that the majority of patients who died due to Covid-19 had not been completely vaccinated, and there were even some who had not received the vaccine at all. Many deaths also occur in those who have comorbidities or comorbidities.
With this incident, Nadia emphasized that vaccination has been scientifically proven to reduce the risk of symptoms and death due to Covid-19 infection. He also continues to encourage the public to immediately vaccinate from the government.
It’s not just a one-dose vaccination, Nadia hopes that people will immediately carry out a complete two-dose vaccination. Even when the time comes, he recommends the public access a stage 3 or booster vaccine. This is important to do as additional protection.
She explained, “The government continues to fight hard to prevent more victims from occurring, one of which is by encouraging vaccination. Vaccination, especially for the elderly, people with comorbidities, and children must be accelerated and expanded,”
Furthermore, the government has finished distributing 18 thousand oxygen concentrators to 34 provinces. The Ministry of Health is also building 36 oxygen generators, 20 of which have been installed in various provinces in Indonesia. All of this is done to reduce the death rate due to the Covid-19 spike that is currently happening in Indonesia.
She then reminded the hospital to regulate the working hours of employees and health workers so that services would not be disrupted during a spike in cases.
Nadia added, “The hospital’s internal strategy can be done by setting shift schedules, mobilizing health workers from other units to assist services in Covid-19 services.”
