East Java Regional Police Chief Inspector General Nico Afinta thanked the Pastor and the people who came and wanted to be vaccinated. As well as supporting programs from the government to create or realize herd immunity.

Not to forget, the Kapolda also thanked the Health Workers (Nakes) who were there to help with the vaccination, so that it could run smoothly.
"In the future, of course, after vaccination, every activity carried out by the community as well as for the Papuan people is to obey the protest," the police chief appealed.

"The city of Surabaya itself is in level IV, but there have been several experiments in opening malls, opening several places such as markets and so on. However, there is one condition, namely showing a vaccine card," he said.
"So with current vaccinations, for the people of Papua if they want to carry out economic activities, this can be helped," added the East Java Police Chief.
Furthermore, the Kapolda also conveyed a request for support to the community, in the success of government programs, namely vaccination.
"Come on, the people of East Java come to outlets owned by the government at the puskesmas or come to the vaccination booths of the Police or the TNI. Hopefully, all people in East Java can be vaccinated, and until now we are still waiting for several vaccines to come. The total that has been vaccinated according to our target has reached 24 percent," he explained.
"Of the 24%, a total of 11 million, all people in East Java. Then for junior high school children aged 12 years and over, it can also be registered. Let's carry out vaccines to keep all of us healthy," said the East Java Police Chief.
