Remarks of President of the Republic of Indonesia at SMAN 3 Wajo after Inspecting Vaccination Drive for Students, 9 September 2021, Wajo Regency, South Sulawesi Province

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Assalamu’alamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

Today I inspected vaccination held in schools, including senior high schools, vocational schools, and madrasas. I think everything was running smoothly and I hope more students will get vaccinated so we can move faster and closer to face-to-face learning, which we hope will start soon.

And I was briefed earlier the face-to-face learning had already started here for we want students to go back to school immediately.

I think that concludes my remarks on this auspicious occasion. I really hope all vaccination drive will run smoothly and all students can learn in school like in normal situation.

Nevertheless, we must remain disciplined in implementing strict health protocols, especially wearing a mask. Be sure to wear a mask as I wear a double mask because it is important to protect us from COVID-19.

That concludes my statement.

I thank you.

Wassalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. (GH/EP)
