Responding to the planned supply of COVID-19 vaccines from Chinese companies later this year, West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil has said he wants 3 million doses for residents of Bogor, Depok and Bekasi (Bodebek).
Ridwan, who also chairs the West Java COVID-19 and economic recovery committee, said Bodebek had been prioritized as it was the center of the virus outbreak in the province.
During a meeting with committee members in Bandung on Monday, Ridwan said some 1,000 healthcare workers had been trained to administer the vaccine.
“We are conducting a preparatory simulation of a vaccination drive in Depok this Thursday,” Ridwan said.
Ridwan said his administration had also trained 3,000 volunteers to help conduct case tracing in Greater Bandung.
Currently, West Java traces up to six people per confirmed case. Ridwan said his administration aimed to increase this number to 30.
