Studies show that vaccine effectiveness against symptomatic disease begins to fade about six months after a complete round of vaccination series. A booster dose bumps protection levels back up to or even higher than the initial vaccination.’The pandemic escalation is entering Indonesia with an unprecedented shock as the widespread of Omicron variant has reached new heights on 6/2/2021 with 3.772 cases. Therefore, a follow-up or booster dose is crucial to maximize one’s protection, prolong the vaccine’s durability and continue to safeguard our communities against the virus. Responding to this, the i-SERVE Vaccine from YCAB Foundation resumes with another drive-thru vaccination program in Jakarta, serving only boosters shots to those who have completed their first and second dose, targeting the marginalized and vulnerable.
Studies show that there has been a significant decrease in antibodies at 6 months after receiving a complete primary dose of Covid-19 vaccination. i-SERVE Vaccine will have either AstraZeneca/Pfizer/Moderna available at Cinta Anak Bangsa Clinic. However, participants will only get vaccination types based on the stock availability from Puskesmas Kebon Jeruk.
Participants are encouraged to do a requirement check for their eligibility before registering at YCAB Foundation’s website to get their booster shot:
- One must have a booster vaccination ticket on the PeduliLindungi app
