Pemkab - Pemkot Diminta Siapkan Rapid Antigen Sebagai Syarat Penerima Vaksinasi

Ketua Harian Satuan Tugas Covid-19 Provinsi Papua, Welliam R Manderi meminta setiap Pemerintah Kabupaten/Kota menyiapkan rapid antigen sebagai salah satu syarat penerima vaksinasi Covid-19.

“Tentunya bagi mereka yang dalam hasil rapid antigen adalah negatif”.

“Tapi kita juga tak tinggal diam di provinsi dan rencananya bakal pengadaan rapid antigen. Dimana sekarang saja kita baru punya 10 ribu rapid antigen. Kita nanti upayakan menyampaikan ke pusat supaya bisa bantu,” ucap Manderi.

Sementara menyoal pembagian jumlah vaksin ke kabupaten dan kota, Manderi pastikan masih dalam proses pembahasan.

Namun, daerah dengan jumlah kasus konfirmasi Covid-19 tertinggi yang kemungkinan besar bakal mendapat jatah lebih banyak. 

“Dari sebanyak 14.680 dosis vaksin Covid-19 yang kini tersedia di Papua. Nantinya, jadwal pendistribusian ke daerah akan ditentukan berdasarkan hasil pembahasan dengan tim yang sudah dibentuk”.

“Mungkin nanti dalam pembahasan juga untuk menentukan besaran jumlah vaksin  Covid-19 yang akan didistribusi ke Kabupaten/Kota. Mungkin saja daerah yang menerima lebih besar adalah daerah yang memiliki banyak kasus konfirmasi Covid-19, seperti Kota Jayapura, Wamena, Merauke, Biak dan lainnya,” tuntas Manderi. 

Sebelumnya, Pemerintah Provinsi Papua menetapkan pada pertengahan bulan ini, tepatnya 15 Januari 2021, pelaksanaan vaksinasi COVID-19 bakal segera dimulai.

Untuk tahap awal diperkirakan sekitar 10 orang relawan bakal divaksinasi terlebih dahulu.

Keputusan tersebut sebagaimana hasil Rapat Koordinasi kesiapan peluncuran vaksinasi Covid-19 yang digelar Satuan Tugas Covid-19 Provinsi Papua di Kota Jayapura, Jumat (8/1/2020).

Daily Chairman of the Papua Province Covid-19 Task Force, Welliam R Manderi asked each Regency/City Government to prepare rapid antigens as one of the requirement for Covid-19 vaccination recipients.

"Surely for those who are negative in rapid antigen test results".

"But we also do not stay silent in the province and the plan will be the procurement of rapid antigens. Where now we only have 10 thousand rapid antigen test. We will try to convey to the center so that we can help," said Manderi.

While distributing the number of vaccines to districts and cities, Manderi made sure it was still under discussion.

However, the areas with the highest number of Covid-19 confirmed cases are most likely to get more rations. 

"14,680 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine currently available in Papua. Later, the distribution schedule to the region will be determined based on the results of discussions with the team that has been formed".

"Maybe the discussion also to determine the amount of Covid-19 vaccine that will be distributed to the District / City. It is possible that the areas that received more are areas that have many confirmed cases of Covid-19, such as Jayapura City, Wamena, Merauke, Biak and others," Manderi concluded. 

Previously, the Papua Provincial Government determined that in the middle of this month, on January 15, 2021, the implementation of COVID-19 vaccination will begin immediately.

For the initial stage it is estimated that about 10 volunteers will be vaccinated first.

The decision is as the result of the Coordination Meeting on the readiness of the covid-19 vaccination launch held by the Papua Province Covid-19 Task Force in Jayapura City, Friday (1/8/2020).
