Covid-19 Cases are Increasing Again in Indonesia. What are the Causes?

3. There are still very few people who have the Booster Vaccine

Public awareness of carrying out booster vaccines is still relatively low. They are still satisfied with the two vaccines they have done or have not even had the vaccine. Therefore, the government continues to encourage people to carry out booster vaccines. Because this booster vaccine will increase people's immunity, they would be able to fight the peak of these two new strains.

"If people are ready with a good booster (vaccine), the chances of peaks (BA.4 and BA.5) are not high," said Budi Gunadi.

The Minister of Health asked the public to raise their awareness again to continue to comply with health protocols by government directives and immediately carry out booster vaccines. In addition, He also urged people not to worry in the face of rising COVID-19 cases, because Indonesia is still relatively safe from transmission standards set by the WHO.
