The Bali provincial government is currently accelerating the Covid-19 vaccine distribution for the tourism workers in Bali before reopening the borders for tourism. The Regional Secretary of Bali Province, Dewa Made Indra said that he appreciated the enthusiasm of the tourism workers in Bali to support the vaccination program. “This program was initiated to boost the economy to recover from the crisis as the tourism has been the providing the main source of economic activity for the people” Made Indra said on Wednesday (10/3).

The provincial government is trying to cooperate with residents by providing the venue, inviting each of the tourism workers to join the vaccination program and providing the vaccine itself.

“We deployed staff from the Health Agency such as the screening service, vaccine injector and observer while running this program” Made Indra added. He also claimed that the vaccination process has been running well, because they only distribute the vaccine for the people who have registered to prevent crowds.

Made Indra is targeting to distribute at least 200 doses of vaccines on Wednesday (10/3) due to the limited amounts of vaccine available. “We will observe the whole process today, and we plan to provide 500 doses of vaccines on Friday (12/3), but the implementation has to be running well like today,” Made Indra concluded. Meanwhile the Head of Bali Tourism Agency, Putu Astawa said that he really hopes that this program could reach more tourism workers in the next couple of months.

We’re optimistic that this vaccination program will bring a positive impact to our tourism sector to boost the economic recovery as soon as possible” Putu Astawa said.
