Traveloka Holds COVID-19 Vaccination Center in South Tangerang from June 2 to 4, 2021

Jakarta, June 2 2021 – After successfully organizing the Traveloka COVID-19 Vaccination Center in Yogyakarta last April, Traveloka, Southeast Asia’s lifestyle superapp, is now reaffirming its commitment to supporting the government in tackling the pandemic by setting up the COVID-19 Vaccination Center in South Tangerang.

From 2-4 June 2021, the Traveloka COVID-19 Vaccination Center in South Tangerang is aimed at the elderly, disabled citizens, and educational staff - including teachers and staff from elementary schools, high schools (junior and senior), universities, and informal teachers. As part of the initiative for the #JalanBersama Lawan COVID-19 movement, the Traveloka COVID-19 Vaccination Center in South Tangerang is supported by the South Tangerang Health Office and the South Tangerang Government, in an effort to accelerate herd immunity and national economic recovery.

The Mayor of South Tangerang, Benyamin Davnie, explained that this collaboration is a cross-sectoral strategic cooperation between the government and the private sector to accelerate the vaccination distribution process. "The South Tangerang Government continues to prioritize vaccination distribution efforts to ensure the sustainability of affected industries, particularly the economic and educational sectors, which have been severely impacted by the pandemic. As a result, we appreciate Traveloka's efforts to help accelerate vaccinations in our city, especially by targeting the vulnerable elderly and disabled citizens, as well as educational staff as one of the essential public workers."

Traveloka plays an active role in this initiative by providing the facility, efficient management, and effective communication flow with prospective vaccine recipients, including executing the initial identification, screening, registration, and invitation process. The vaccination is administered by doctors and professional nurses under the supervision of the South Tangerang Health Office.

Albert, Co-Founder of Traveloka, said, “After successfully organizing a COVID-19 Vaccination Center in Yogyakarta, this time we are here in South Tangerang to assist the government in overcoming the pandemic. South Tangerang, as we all know, is one of the supporting areas for the Capital City, DKI Jakarta, and is a densely populated residential zone. Through the Traveloka COVID-19 Vaccination Center in this region, we hope to vaccinate more people and achieve herd immunity, which will eventually improve the economic sector that has been weakened by the pandemic."

Appreciating this collaboration, the Head of the South Tangerang Health Office, Alin Hendalin Mahdaniar, stated that this cross-sectoral cooperation can help the local government accelerate the vaccination target. "According to our data in May 2021, the first stage of the vaccine reached 76% of the total target of recipients, while the second stage achieved only 62%. Targeting not only the elderly, but also disabled citizens and teaching staff, allow us to complete our mission of distributing the vaccine. As a matter of fact, we are grateful that Traveloka was able to contribute to vaccination efforts in South Tangerang.”

In addition to opening a Vaccination Center, Traveloka provides free insurance to every Indonesian citizen who receives the vaccine through the Medishield Insurance product, which is supported by a leading insurance provider, Chubb General Insurance Indonesia. The insurance protection includes ‘Santunan Tunai Rawat Inap’ with an insured value of Rp.150,000,-/day, for a maximum of 14 days after receiving the vaccine, should the vaccine recipient experience any side-effects and require hospital treatment.
