The vaccine arrival is the 36th stage since December 6, 2020. Penny Lukito, Head of the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM) said that this is one of the government’s efforts to continue to meet the need for the availability of vaccines used in the national vaccination program.
Not to forget, Penny gave her appreciation to all parties involved in the acceleration of the implementation of the national vaccination program, especially the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, The National Military of Indonesia (TNI), The National Police Force of Indonesia (POLRI), other ministries/agencies, health workers, and the community.
