"We escorted and picked up 43 people with mental disabilities, accompanied by 19 assistants from Harapan Jaya Bina Karya Social Housing to participate in the vaccination using five bus units," the Coordinator of the Activities of the ministry's Directorate of Persons with Disabilities Imam, said in a statement here on Sunday.

The ministry deployed ten assistants to facilitate the activity. They consist of nurses and social workers from the Social Rehabilitation Center.
