A total of 161 elderly people, spread across six urban villages in Pancoran Sub-district, South Jakarta, have already registered and are ready to undergo COVID-19 vaccination.

Pancoran Sub-district Puskesmas Head, Sri Lenita said, to smoothen it, dozens of medics had been alerted to take care of enrollment, screening, injection and post-injection observation.

"Vaccination is held in stages every day. For today we are vaccinating 20 people," she expressed.
