Since early February, Smartcitizens can register for the second booster vaccine through the JAKI app. But, you might still be asking: when and where is the booster vaccine available? Relax, the location and schedule of booster vaccinations in Jakarta can be monitored through the corona.jakarta.go.id website! Let’s see how to find the location and schedule of the booster vaccine through the following article!

Make sure you have met the Booster Vaccination Requirements

According to the Circular Letter of the Director General of Disease Prevention and Control Number SR.02.06/II/1180/2022 concerning Adjustments to the Implementation of the Advanced Dose of COVID-19 Vaccination (Booster) for the General Public, to get a booster vaccine, a person must fulfill the following conditions:

As for the second booster vaccine, based on the Ministry of Health Circular Letter Number HK.02.02/C/380/2023 concerning the 2nd Booster Covid-19 Vaccination for General Public Groups, there are several adjustments as follows.

1. For Covid-19 survivors, it can only be given after undergoing treatment for three months or after one month of experiencing mild symptoms.

3. Foreign nationals can take part in the vaccine provided that they submit an application through the Pedulilindungi web and show their Passport and Residence Permit (Temporary / Permanent).

Finding the Booster Vaccine Schedule and Location

Smartcitizen can find the booster vaccine schedule and location via corona.jakarta.go.id/id/quota-vaccination-jaki. Meanwhile, booster vaccine registration can be done through the JAKI application by following the steps below:

Then, how do you find the schedule and location of your desired booster vaccination? Here are the steps:

1. Visit corona.jakarta.go.id/id/quota-vaccination-jaki.

2. Scroll until you find ‘Vaccination Location Data Details’. In this section, you can sort health facilities that provide vaccines based on vaccination location, vaccination date, and dosage.

3. To view health facilities that provide booster vaccines, click on the ‘Dosage’ section, and check ‘Fourth’. You will see a list of health facilities that provide booster vaccines.

4. Then, to check the vaccination locations, click on the ‘Vaccination Location Name’ button. The list will show the locations that provide booster vaccinations. If you only want to see one location, for example the Rawa Buaya Urban Health Center, select the ‘Only’ button.

5. Want to view booster vaccine services by date? Simply click ‘Vaccination Date’ and click ‘Only’ on the date you want to see. For example, if you want to get vaccinated at Puskesmas Kelurahan Rawa Buaya on February 17, 2023, the schedule shown is as follows:

6. When checking the booster vaccination schedule and location, also pay attention to the remaining quota. If the remaining quota is 0, then you must choose another schedule or location when you want to register through JAKI. If the vaccine quota is still available at the location and schedule you want, immediately re-register via JAKI so that you are immediately scheduled at the vaccination location you want.

What type of booster vaccine is used?

According to the Ministry of Health, people who received the primary dose (first dose and second dose) of Sinovac will be given the AstraZeneca vaccine (half dose, 0.25 ml), or the Pfizer vaccine (half dose, 0.15 ml), or the Moderna vaccine (full dose, 0.5ml). If you got the primary dose of AstraZeneca, then you will be given Moderna vaccine (half dose, 0.25 ml), or Pfizer vaccine (half dose, 0.15 ml), or AstraZeneca vaccine (full dose, 0.5 ml).

As for the second booster vaccine, Pfizer and Zifivax vaccines are currently available. For those of you who were previously given the Sinovac vaccine, you can use the Zifivax vaccine for the second booster. For other types of vaccines, please see the table above. For information, the administration of booster vaccines follows the availability of vaccines in each health facility.
