TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - President Joko Widodo, or Jokowi, on Thursday virtually led the launch of a booster vaccination program for the industrial sector across 11 areas.
“What we expect is for industries, in factories, the production sector activities will not be disrupted again as [workers] are already given booster shots. This can provide better strength to the production sector,” said the President through a teleconference at PT Komatsu in North Jakarta on February 24.
In the event, Jokowi received reports from a number of companies that have completed their booster vaccination program, subjecting thousands of workers. Companies reported to be nearing program completions are HM Sampoerna in East Java, Pupuk Kaltim, and PT Cititex in Central Java.
“This is great as it is important to have the production sector undisturbed. Exports must continue,” said Jokowi. The booster program not only subjects workers but also residents who live nearby industrial areas.
