 Ardana explained that some of the participants who received the Covid-19 vaccine at this vaccination site did it as a requirement before taking a ferry to Java. He also aims to distribute the vaccine to the senior citizens and children (ages of 12 to 18 years old) around the Gilimanuk area very soon. “This is the third time the Marine Force has opened a vaccination site and distributed the Sinovac vaccine to public residents.” Colonel Ardana added.

    Prior to this program the Fleet Coordinator Commander II, Admiral Iwan Isnurwanto has instructed all of his units to support the vaccination program in the area around their base to create herd immunity in Bali’s coastal area. “I urge the people to always comply with prevention protocols such as wearing facemasks, carrying out physical distancing, reducing mobility, keeping our hands sanitized, avoiding a crowd and joining the vaccination program, so we can finally overcome this pandemic.” Admiral Iwan concluded.

Fauci just sad that after delta they can be more dangerous mutations and that current vaccines can become ineffective.

I have a hard time about this: are you giving away free vaccinations to people that want them arriving to Bali? Or are you saying: you must take this injection, otherwise we'll send you back to Java right now?

Those are -very- different messages!
