After the government officially approved the provision of booster shot for the citizens, now JAKI is available for booster shot registration! The target of this booster vaccine is those who are 18 years or older, by prioritizing the elderly and people who have immunocompromised conditions. Read for more explanation.
Why Is Booster Vaccine Important?
A booster vaccine is an additional vaccine given after a person has received their primary vaccine course (first and second dose). Booster vaccines are given to maintain our immunity, as protection given by the original shots naturally start to wane over time. Just like primary vaccination, booster vaccination has the potential to cause side effects such as sore and swollen arm, fever, chills, and headache. This is the body’s natural response which indicates that the vaccine is working, so you don’t need to worry. In Indonesia, the types of booster vaccines used are AstraZeneca (given in half dose, 0.25ml), Pfizer (given in half dose, 0.15 ml), and Moderna (given in half dose, 0.25 ml). As of January 24, 2022, 313,382 Jakarta citizens have received their booster vaccines. See further explanation of booster vaccines below.
