President University (PresUniv) continues to be committed to supporting the efforts of the Indonesian Government in accelerating the handling of Covid-19. For this reason, PresUniv again held a Vaccination Program for the second vaccination dose at the President University Convention Center (PUCC), Thursday (1/7). This program is intended for lecturers, education staff, and other stakeholders within PresUniv and the Yayasan Pendidikan Universitas Presiden (YPUP). Previously, the vaccine participants had received the first dose of injection at PUCC, 2-3 June 2021.

In this program, PresUniv collaborates with the Pusat Kesehatan Masyarakat (Puskesmas) Mekar Mukti, North Cikarang, Bekasi Regency. Kristiana Desy, Human Resources Development (HRD) Presuniv, said this program aims to create herd immunity and reduce transmission and symptoms of Covid-19. This program uses the Sinovac Vaccine for ages 18 and over. Three hundred three participants attended the first vaccination dose, and 252 participants attended the second vaccination dose. “There were participants who were unable to attend the second dose of vaccination. For this reason, these participants can take the second dose of vaccination in Mekarmukti Village on July 13 or Puskesmas Mekar Mukti on July 21, 2021," she said.

In implementing this program, PresUniv has implemented health protocols, such as checking the temperature of participants before entering the PUCC, being required to use hand sanitizers, providing chairs one and a half meters apart from other chairs, and spraying disinfectants. Novicarnus Yudhiar, Head of the PresUniv Covid-19 Task Force, said that we sprayed disinfectant at PUCC twice before the program and after the program. "We are also collaborating with the Puskesmas to provide health tents and ambulances if anyone experiences symptoms or complaints after the vaccine," he added. (Gilang Suryanata, PR team.
