Starting from last week, Jakarta citizens are already able to register themselves for a booster shot via JAKI. However, you may still have a question: when and where are booster shots available? Worry not, both location and schedule for booster shots across Jakarta can be found through corona.jakarta.go.id website! Read through to find more information on finding your booster shots location and schedule!
Make Sure You’re Already Eligible For a Booster Shot
According to the Circular Letter of the Ministry of Health Circular Letter Number HK.02.02/II/252/2022 regarding Covid-19 Booster Shots, to get a booster vaccine, a person must meet the following requirements:
should be able to show the ID card number by bringing the ID card or Family Card;
must be 18 years or over;
have received a complete primary vaccination course at least 6 months prior.
In addition, booster vaccines are given by prioritizing the elderly and people who are immunocompromised.
Finding Your Booster Shots Schedule and Location
To find the schedule and location for booster shots, please head over to corona.jakarta.go.id/en/kuota-vaksinasi-jaki and follow these steps:
Visit corona.jakarta.go.id/en/kuota-vaksinasi-jaki
Scroll down until you find ‘Detail Data Lokasi Vaksinasi’. In this section, you can sort the vaccine schedule and location by vaccination location, vaccination date, and dose.
To see health facilities that provide booster vaccines, click on ‘Dosis’, and tick ‘Ketiga’. You’ll see a list of health facilities that provide booster shots.
Then, to see the vaccination location, click on the ‘Nama Lokasi Vaksinasi’. The listed are the locations that provide booster shots. If you only want to see one location, for example, The Kasablanka, click the ‘Only’ button.
Want to see booster shots services by date? Just click on ‘Tanggal Vaksinasi’ and click ‘Only’ on the date you’re looking for.
As you’re looking for the booster shots schedule and location, please pay attention to the remaining quota as well. If the remaining quota is 0, then you have to pick another schedule or location before you register yourself via JAKI. However, if the quota is still available at the location and the schedule you choose, you can register yourself immediately to book your vaccine appointment.
What Vaccine is Used for Booster Shot?
As stated by the Ministry of Health, people who received Sinovac as their primary dose course (first dose and second dose) will be given either AstraZeneca vaccine (half dose, 0.25 ml), or Pfizer vaccine (half dose, 0.15 ml) as the booster shot. If you got AstraZeneca as your primary dose course, for the booster shot, you’ll be given either the Moderna vaccine (half dose, 0.25 ml), or the Pfizer vaccine (half dose, 0.15 ml), or the AstraZeneca vaccine (full dose, 0.5 ml).
