An official from the Health Office has confirmed that over 1 million Bali residents have received the Covid-19 vaccine booster.
The Head of Bali Health Office, Dr. I Nyoman Gede Anom, confirmed that 1/4 of all Bali residents have received the booster shot as of April.
He also stated that the Covid-19 booster vaccination program has been optimized as the G-20 Conference is scheduled to be held in Bali this year. Dozens of international delegations are expected to attend the forum in Nusa Dua.
“Our target is to distribute the Covid-19 vaccine booster to 75 percent of Bali residents before we host G-20 Conference in November this year,” Dr. Anom said on Wednesday (13/4).
Officials have extended the vaccination sites’ operating hours in the hopes of providing booster shots to residents who plan to travel back to their hometowns during the upcoming Eid Al-Fitr holiday season.
Anom has set up temporary vaccination sites near several mosques in Denpasar and Badung.
“Following the current vaccine booster program, we expect to distribute the vaccine to 3,000-7,000 people daily before the end of this month,” Dr. Anom concluded.

They won’t reach that goal because the people of Bali are smart and resist the poison. They wouldn’t be even that high if the government hadn’t forced many against their will. Shameful on the part of the Balinese politicians (being paid by the vax manufacturers).

@Martina, you are obviously an anti-vaxxer. Take off that tinfoil hat. The only toxic element on here is you spreading misinformation. By the way I had my fourth jab, still healthy and loving my life. I am able to travel like any normal vaxxed people.
Anti-vaxxers in my neck of the woods have hit rock bottom. It's hard to believe that Hard-core anti-vaxxers could fall any lower than besieging hospitals and harassing health-care workers. They are using uglier tactics to scare people away from getting vaccinated against covid-19.
Anti-vaccine sentiment has risen again with protests and rhetoric not dissimilar from the opposition to the smallpx vaccine in the 19th century.
I will always be here to challenge you people that you can be wrong.

@Randy, you sound very simple minded and not understanding what ingredients are in these 'jabs'. Do a bit more research and ye shall find.... Maybe do a course in diagnostic orthomolecular medicine so u can learn how dangerous toxic metals are to our bodies and MINDS.

@Michael take your poisonous statements elsewhere. Are you a paid troll on here? Your misleading information should remain within your own unvaxxed stupid people.
The Indonesians should be happy that you may not be able to enter if you are not triple vaxxed.

The problem remains that available vaccines aren’t designed against latest Covid mutations.

@Wayan Bo, That has been established but vaccination has helped people live and not a burden to the health care system.
Masks are back on in some cities in the US. There is a rise of infection again since the covid rules were relaxed. Mutation will still occur when people refused to be vaccinated and not masked up.
