Soon we will be mass immunized against corona, because the vaccine has landed beautifully in Indonesia. All elements of society support the vaccination program, so that they are healthy and free from this dangerous disease. National corona immunization is mandatory, in order to achieve a healthy Indonesia in 2021.
The Covid-19 pandemic ravaged Indonesian society. In December 2020, there were recorded more than 5,000 new corona patients per day. This record makes people sad, because they also don’t want to be infected with the Covid-19 virus. Especially now that many people without symptoms are roaming the streets, not knowing that they are corona reactive, if they don’t get a mass rapid test.
The government is trying to realize a healthy Indonesia in 2021 by requiring everyone to be vaccinated against the corona. Because if they have been immunized, they will be immune from this deadly virus. There are no exceptions, because this vaccine has also received MUI halal status. This institution guarantees, because it also supervises the manufacturing process from the start.
The Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia, KH Ma’ruf Amin, stated that the community should support corona vaccination, starting from the preparation stage to injection. In that sense, when the vaccine has not been given, they support it by campaigning for the corona immunization program, both in cyberspace and in the real world. Also supports the Healthy Indonesia 2021 program.
A positive campaign is very important because it can increase public confidence about corona immunization. Because this vaccine is mandatory, they inevitably have to be injected. People must be open minded and positive, that giving this vaccine is for their health and safety together. Because vaccination will form herd immunity, aka group immunity.
KH Ma’ruf Amin added that the public can access information about vaccines from reliable official sources. Do not easily believe news about vaccines that have not been trusted. In that sense, currently there are many hoaxes about corona immunization. So that the fake news disturbs the public, because they confuse the truth.
Hoaxes that have circulated about corona immunization are that someone can die after being injected with the vaccine. Also shown the daughter of Russian President Vladimir Putin taking a photo together. He reportedly fell victim to the virus and lost his life. In fact, the woman is not Putin’s real child, and is still alive today.
Fake news like this is very dangerous if it circulates in the community, because they become afraid when they are about to be injected. National immunization programs can also fail because of this. Therefore, we must sort our readings and campaign for stop hoaxes, especially when there is news about the corona vaccine.
When this campaign is successful, people will be willing to get injections. The way to campaign is actually simple, by showing real news links and comparing them with fake ones. In addition, Twitter and other social media have acted decisively by deleting tweets or statuses that contain hoaxes about corona.
The public will believe in the greatness of vaccines, because they are shown how the volunteers are doing well after being immunized. For example, West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil, who was a volunteer for the corona vaccine several months ago. The proof is that until now he is in good health and when he has been tested for swabs many times, the results are always negative.
Community support is very important, because if there is one person who believes in the greatness of vaccines, other people will follow suit. For example, a father as the head of the family sets a positive example by wanting to be vaccinated first. His children and wife will follow along, as will his household assistants, neighbors, relatives, and others.
If everyone has been vaccinated, the pandemic can end and conditions will gradually return to normal. The market is busy again because people’s purchasing power has increased. The Indonesian economy will improve, as a positive effect of the Healthy Indonesia 2021 program. Because all elements of society are healthy and corona free, and are working happily.
