Various
innovations from collaboration between the DKI Jakarta Provincial
Government and collaborators continue to play a part in mitigating the
Covid-19 pandemic. KSBB or Large-Scale Social Collaboration is an
example of Jakarta's collaboration with various partners to provide food
assistance for residents, assistance to MSMEs, education, settlement,
and manpower during these challenging times.
Now,
in the midst of the government's effort to accelerate the progress of
Covid-19 vaccination and protecting Jakarta residents, the DKI Jakarta
Provincial Government, through its Jakarta Smart City and Jakarta Health
Office, has collaborated with Google to present a feature in the form
of a button to book an appointment at the vaccination site directly from
Google Maps. That makes Jakarta as the first city in the Southeast Asia
that provides vaccination direct booking from Google Maps.
A Growing Collaboration
For
your information, this is not the first collaboration between Jakarta
Smart City and Google. Previously, Jakarta Smart City collaborated in
adding data of major and minor roads in the Google Maps application.
Then,
in May 2021, when the Covid-19 vaccination was intensified, Jakarta
Smart City and Google Maps made a collaboration in presenting a feature
that allows users to see the list and location of vaccination in
Jakarta. Amid the enthusiasm of the residents and to help accelerate the
Covid-19 vaccination rate in the capital, the collaboration was
continued with the launch of Vaccination Direct Booking via Google Maps
feature.
How to Book for Covid-19 Vaccination via Google Maps?
With
the aim of making it easier for citizens, the booking process for
vaccinations through Google is quite simple. Just simply enter the
keyword "Covid-19 Vaccination" on Google search column. Click “view all”
which then displays a more detailed list of vaccination sites, like
this:
Select
the vaccination site of your choice -- preferably the nearest to you,
then details will appear on the right as shown in the image above. You
can see the address of the vaccination site, its operating hours, and
telephone number. And most importantly, it is also shown that at the
location of the Covid-19 vaccine you choose, you need to make an
appointment.
To
register for vaccination, select "Book appointment". Next, you will be
directed to fill in your Identity Card number and full name on the
registration page, like this:
Then,
you just need to follow the registration steps until you can choose the
location and time for the Covid-19 vaccination that suits you. You will
also be directed to fill out a pre-screening form which will give you a
‘control card’ that you need to print and bring along with the
vaccination card to the vaccination location later.
If you want to check the available vaccination quota, you can access it via qrco.de/kuotavaksinjaki.
Collaboration and Innovation for Jakarta
This
collaborative step is an example of real implementation and application
of vaccination location data provided by the Jakarta Health Office,
data processing and provision of a registration platform by Jakarta
Smart City, and Google with its technology to help display said data and
provide registration buttons on Google Maps.
The
results of this collaboration can make it easier for residents to find
vaccination locations and register to be vaccinated. Hopefully the
results of this collaboration can support the acceleration of
vaccination in Jakarta, so that herd immunity can be achieved and the
pandemic will end soon.
