In the last few months, our lives have returned to normal. Schools, campuses, offices, and shopping centers have been reopened. Public transportations is stuffed with passengers, and roads are congested with vehicles. Alas, it seems that our struggle to be completely free from Covid-19 is still being tested. Covid-19 cases are on the rise again. The Ministry of Health found that the new Covid-19 virus variants, BA.4 and BA.5, were one of the causes of the outbreak of Covid-19 cases in Indonesia. In addition, the low percentage of people who received booster vaccinations also contributed to the increase of Covid-19 cases.

Vaccines Save Lives, Get Your Vaccination Booster Immediately

The Covid-19 booster vaccination is an effective way to break the chain of the spread of Covid-19. However, vaccines aren’t medicine that can cure disease and no vaccine provides 100% protection. There is still a possibility of catching the disease, but the effects will not be as severe as not being vaccinated. In essence, the Covid-19 vaccine will build our immunity, so our bodies are protected if it’s exposed to the coronavirus.

Vaccine ability to protect our body will start to wane over time and the coronavirus continues to mutate, which is why our immune system needs to build more protection. So, if you’ve received the first and second vaccines, you need to also take the booster vaccination. In Jakarta, there are a lot of places that provide booster vaccinations and you can check all of them on corona.jakarta.go.id/id/kuota-vaksinasi-jaki.
