But in Pekanbaru, capital of the province of Riau, the implementation of MR vaccination reached only 25% of the 281 221 children of Pekanbaru who must be vaccinated.
That's what the acting head of the Pekanbaru City Health Bureau, Indra Pomi, was hoping the central government would give a vaccination waiver until the end of the year.
"What we have just finished still represents about 25%, we have got the figure of 21 existing Puskemas, if, for example, the central government wishes to grant derogations, God willing, we will achieve the goal that we can reach, "he told gatra.com on Tuesday (30/10).
The weak result obtained, said the former head of the PUPR Kampar de Kampar, was inseparable from the emergence of a controversy over the haram MR halal vaccine.
"This is what worries parents, even fearing that their children will be vaccinated," he said.
Even though Indra said, the MR vaccine is very important. Because children who have never been vaccinated are at high risk of contracting measles and rubella, which can lead to inflammation of the brain, blindness, malnutrition and death.
For pregnant women, this can also cause miscarriages or birth registrations in babies.
