Syahrir said that the Ministry of Health will distribute the third dose of vaccination to reach the target of 50%. Syahril believes that the Booster vaccine can increase the strength of the immune system, which will provide the best protection for the community. "Indeed, booster vaccination is still far from the target due to various reasons. We will intensify this vaccination once more, because we believe vaccination is the best method in providing protection to the community", explained Muhammad Syahril quoted from tempo.co, Friday (11/04/22). A spokesman for the Indonesian Ministry of Health stated that there were 30 provinces that experienced an increase in COVID-19 cases with a total of 4,951 confirmed cases, while four other provinces experienced a downward trend. This upward trend is not only happening in Indonesia, but also in other countries. This cannot be separated from the emergence of a new subvariant Omicron XBB "This has become the attention for all of us, that the pandemic is still very much happening and there are 28 countries that have experienced an increase in cases, including Singapore. This trend is associated with the new subvariants XBB and XBB.1", he concluded.
