Indonesia’s Tourism and Creative Economy Ministry, MNC Peduli, Doktora Clinic, Traveloka, Mister Aladin, and GBI Glow Fellowship Center Collaborates to Present COVID-19 Vaccination Centers in Central Jakarta and West Jakarta

Jakarta, 23 July 2021— In order to support the efforts of accelerating vaccine distribution and achieve the national target of vaccination recipients, the Tourism and Creative Economy Ministry of Republic of Indonesia (Kemenparekraf RI) has forged a collaboration with MNC Peduli, Doktora Clinic, Traveloka, Mister Aladin, and GBI Glow Fellowship Center to present COVID-19 Vaccination Center services located at MNC Center Area Kebon Sirih, Central Jakarta and at MNC Studios Area, Kebon Jeruk, West Jakarta. These vaccination services officially operate on 23-27 July 2021 at 08.00-15.00 WIB for the first dose of vaccination and 20-24 August 2021 for the second dose of vaccination. The general public, including the elderly, are allowed to register themselves as the vaccine recipients at this Vaccination Center by showing an official identity card without domicile requirements.

Targeting a total of 6,000 vaccine recipients for the first dose during the implementation period, this initiative is a joint effort between the government and the private sector (public-private partnership/PPP) to accelerate the establishment of herd immunity, which has become the current focus of the government, as the key to tackling COVID-19 pandemic.

Deputy Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, Angela Tanoesoedibjo said, "Vaccination is a part of our joint efforts to to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the government collaborates with various parties from across sectors to accelerate the distribution of vaccines in the country and enable people to get vaccinations at ease. I am very grateful for the support from all parties to realize this Vaccination Center so we can reach herd immunity soon. I also urge workers of the tourism and creative economy industries to take advantage of this Vaccination Center in order to speed up recovery in one of the most affected industries. We hope that 90-95 percent of the 34 million people who depend on the Tourism and Creative Economy sectors can get vaccinated.”

Taking part in supporting the Vaccination Center program through the procurement of locations and operational teams, MNC Peduli Chairwoman, Jessica Tanoesoedibjo said, "We are very pleased to be able to actively participate in helping the government to expand the national vaccination coverage, which is a real step in handling COVID-19. We hope the support from MNC Peduli in providing two locations of the Vaccination Centers will be able to reach more people who have not had access to vaccination. We also prepare an on-ground operational team that will assist the vaccination flow to ensure its safety throughout the whole process. We are committed to continuously synergize with the government and other industry players to help with the COVID-19 mitigation efforts in Indonesia.”

By utilizing technology developed by Traveloka, people who have not received vaccinations are able to register online through the Traveloka Xperience via Traveloka application, then they can select the available arrival date and time. The booking system available in the Traveloka application helps a well-ordered scheduling system so that the vaccinations can take place in a smooth and proper manner.

Co-Founder, Traveloka, Albert stated this Vaccination Center service is a part of #WalkTogether to Fight COVID-19 movement initiated by Traveloka, in which the company has previously taken an active part in presenting Vaccination Centers in Yogyakarta, South Tangerang, and also at Soekarno-Hatta Airport. "We are proud to have the trust from the Tourism and Creative Economy Ministry and work with MNC Peduli, Doktora Clinic, Mister Aladin, and GBI Glow Fellowship Center. It is a collaboration to provide convenience for the public in obtaining vaccinations by utilizing our technology. In order to comply with health protocols, we provide an easy online registration system, hence the vaccination schedule can be carried out better. Users can choose their suitable day and time of vaccination and are expected to attend as scheduled in order to avoid accumulation. As a lifestyle superapp, we will continue to develop innovations and collaborate with various parties to make the distribution of COVID-19 vaccinations successful in order to accelerate the establishment of herd immunity as well as the national socio-economic recovery.”

Taking an active role in the procurement of medical equipment,Doktora Clinic also expressed its appreciation for the establishment of the Vaccination Center. Drg. Fransisca Tobing, CEO of Doktora Clinic,said, "As one of the official health facilities appointed by the government to facilitate COVID-19 vaccinations, we are ready to support the government's efforts and collaborate with various private parties who also participated in the Vaccination Center. We are collaborating with the Healthcare Team from Glow Fellowship Center Doctors Association, while for purposes of medical equipment, medical waste treatment and SOPs implementation is under our supervision to ensure that the COVID-19 vaccination can run smoothly and in accordance with medical standards. We hope there will be more people get the advantages of this Vaccination Center, considering the policy of domicile certificate requirement has been omitted so that people can get vaccinations easily.”

On top of conducting a COVID-19 Vaccination Center service, both people who have and have not received vaccinations are advised to maintain their immune system, stay at home if there are no urgent needs, and comply with health protocols.
