Press Statement of the President of the Republic of Indonesia at the Inspection of COVID-19 Mass Vaccination for Journalists on Thursday, 25 February 2021 at Basketball Hall A of Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, Senayan, Central Jakarta, Special Capital Region of Jakarta

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

As I have stated on the 2021 National Press day, we want to prioritize the press for vaccination, and thank God, this morning, vaccination has begun for 5,500 media crew members and I saw that the process went well, successfully. We hope this vaccination provides protection to media crew, especially those in the field who often interact with the public, often interact with interviewees and it provides good protection for the press, who have been vaccinated this morning.

We hope it will be carried out in other provinces so that all media crews, all press in the country, all of them wil get vaccinated immediately.

That concludes my statement.

I thank you.

Wassalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. (DH/MMB)
