An official from the Bali Health Agency has confirmed that a Covid-19 vaccine booster is a requirement for travelers during the upcoming Eid Al-Fitr holiday season.
The Head of Bali Health Agency, Nyoman Gede Anom, confirmed that the enthusiasm of Bali residents to receive the Covid-19 vaccine booster has significantly increased since the government decided to make the vaccine booster certificate a travel requirement for the upcoming Eid Al-Fitr holidays in May 2022.
“This new travel requirement helped increase the vaccine booster distribution on the island,” Anom said.
In anticipation of the massive demand for vaccine boosters, officials decided to extend the operating hours of vaccination sites.
“We decided to extend the operating hours of vaccination sites until late in the evening. Some of our medical staff are even distributing vaccines to their residences,” Anom added.
Since the Bali provincial government started the vaccine booster distribution in early January 2022, 52.4 percent of Bali residents have received their booster shots as of April.
“Although there are expired Covid-19 vaccines in some regions, we still have over 137,000 doses of the vaccine left. Hence, we’re optimistic that we can reach a 100 percent vaccination rate in the near future,” Anom concluded.

The second booster ( Shot # 4) is being pushed out worldwide as Omicron and B2 spreads fast. Here in Thailand they’ve announced that the holiday season is likely to overwhelm hospitals. In the weeks before Songkran cases are already back to crisis levels. The awful projection that ventilator shortages are going to cause death numbers to spike is pretty scary.

@J West, there is expert opinion that new Covid mutation XE is by far more infectious than previous.

This is simple: - Freedom of movement within a state is a Human Right (ref. UN). - Forced vaccination is against human rights (ref. Amnesty Indonesia 2021). Indonesia: If you want freedom of movement we force you to have covid-19 booster...

High efficiency vaccines designed against Covid mutations, such Delta BA.2 BA.2 and XE aren’t still avilable.

There are on average over three immediate deaths per 100 korona 'vaccine' users. This isn't including people who have cancer and other long term injuries not yet exposed. The Pfizer and FDA statistical documents are being released every day through a Doctors for Transparency court hearing where th magistrate found for th Doctors eg the FDA and Pfizer wanted this vital information to be kept under wraps for 75 years! Bali! Open your eyes and start working out why there are so many people dying from th vaccine but no one is dying from ko vid. One doesn't have to be a rocket scientist. In th last two months five of my friends had heart attack after jab. Two are already dead!

The leaders of Bali are fools. This statement shows nothing more than forced coercion on their part.
“…the enthusiasm of Bali residents to receive the Covid-19 vaccine booster has significantly increased since the government decided to make the vaccine booster certificate a travel requirement for the upcoming Eid Al-Fitr holidays in May 2022.”
The whole world now knows these vaccines are worthless but yet the leaders of Bali insist on destroying the people of Bali while the leaders get fat off their checks from the vaccine manufacturers.
It is a shame…

@Ganivet, Seriously, these past 2 years governments all around the world caused so many troubles... Their respect cannot be regained easily. The same refers to police.

@Michael, How do you explain away how entire families have died and high rates of infection continues to kill?

@Michael, Those who are fully informed are not afraid of the virus but of the government
