A health worker gives a first COVID-19 vaccine dose to a vendor at Blok A Tanah Abang Market in Central Jakarta on Monday (1/3/2021). Many vendors welcomed the vaccination, and there was a long line to register. More than 23,000 vendors and management staff registered for the vaccination drive, which ran until March 2.
Post-vaccination infections have been reported, including confirmed cases after patients received the second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
People are restless and tired after dealing with the pandemic for a full year, placing their hopes in the government’s vaccinations. The reality, however, is that problems have been overlooked in the attempt to accelerate vaccine development. The main focus was put on the efficacy of the vaccine as well as the health and safety of recipients, so a comprehensive study on post-vaccination results must be conducted to obtain a complete picture of the effectiveness.
