President of the Republik of Indonesia (Joko Widodo)

Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

Along with Governor of Lampung and Regent of Pesawaran, today, in SMPN (State Junior High School)1 Tataan  in Pesawaran Regency, I inspect vaccination drive for approximately 1,000 students in the regency.

I noticed that everything run well. Through the vaccination drive for students that takes place at this school, we hope that our students can immediately carry out face-to-face learning and get extra protection from COVID-19 so that it can curb the spread of COVID-19 at schools which students have been vaccinated.

That concludes my speech on this auspicious occasion.

I thank you.

On behalf of the regional government of Pesawaran representing people in Pesawaran Regency, especially students, teachers, and students’ parents in the regency, I would like to express my gratitude for the vaccination drive for students that was launched here today. Pesawaran Regency is one of areas that really needs the acceleration of vaccination because face-to-face learning at schools will immediately begin.

Alhamdulillah, today we received vaccine supplies allocation from Mr. President and it will continue to be added more in order to support the preparation of face-to-face learning that is eagerly awaited by students.

Once again, I would like to express my gratitude [to the President]. This is an extraordinary program. Hopefully, the learning activities at schools can return to normal.

I thank to Mr. President of the Republic of Indonesia
