Papua received 73 thousand vials of Covid-19 vaccine




The Papua Provincial Health Office on Monday (15/3/2021) received 73 thousand vials of the Covid-19 vaccine for the implementation of the second phase of vaccination.

The Head of Disease Prevention and Control Division of the Papua Provincial Health Office, Aaron Rumainum, said that the vaccine shipment that had just arrived would be distributed to Jayapura City with around 23,420 vials, Merauke Regency for 1,000 vials, Asmat Regency for 900 vials, and Jayapura Regency for 500 vials.

He said that previously as many as 70 thousand Covid-19 vaccine vials were sent to districts that were implementing vaccination.

"We hope that 70 thousand vaccine vials that have been distributed to each district can be finished as soon as possible," he said.

Regarding the Covid-19 vaccine stock, whose expiration period was pushed forward to March 20, 2021, he said, "The vaccine is temporarily in Jayapura City and we think it will definitely run out."

He said that the Health Office has also coordinated with district governments that get the vaccine supply, such as the Nabire Regency Government, to immediately use it until it runs out.
