North Jakarta Mayor, Ali Maulana Hakim appreciated and conveyed his gratitude to the organizers and stakeholders who have carried out this vaccination activity to provide convenience for JakLingko drivers.

Meanwhile, North Jakarta Koperasi Wahana Kalpika (KWK) Head, Ramly H.I. Muhammad mentioned, COVID-19 vaccination for drivers was provided as an effort to improve JakLingko's public transportation service.
"Today's target is to vaccinate 251 drivers in morning and 311 drivers in afternoon. We divide the time of vaccination to reduce crowds," he explained.
He added that today's vaccination service at Saung KWK provided vaccination for second dose. However, drivers who haven't been injected with the first dose are welcomed.
"We use AstraZeneca vaccines. Before, we had facilitated first dose vaccination for 800 JakLingko drivers," he added.
According to him, all JakLingko drivers must have been vaccinated in order to provide optimal service to people who use public transportation.
