The Department of Public Health and Preventive Medicine (KMKP) of the Faculty of Medicine, Udayana University in collaboration with the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia and WHO held a coordination meeting of stakeholders throughout the Province of Bali in the context of researching the coverage of Covid-19 vaccination in Bali Province. This event was attended by Plt. The Director of Immunization Management of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia who on this occasion was represented by the Sub-Coordinator of Immunization for Special Outbreaks of Response, Dit. Immunization Management (dr. Sherli), Deputy Director General of Public Health Services, WHO (dr. Paba Palihawadana), Plt. Head of the Bali Provincial Health Office as well as the Daily Chair of the Covid-19 Task Force for the Province of Bali (Drs. I Made Rentin, AP., M.Si), Regents and Mayors throughout the Province of Bali, Head of District/City Health Offices throughout the Province of Bali , Head of the Regency/City Covid-19 Task Force for the Province of Bali, elected Head of Sub-District for the Province of Bali and the Head of the Health Center for the entire Province of Bali.

This event was also attended by the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Udayana University, Dr. dr. Komang Januartha Putra Pinatih, M.Kes where in his speech said that currently the COVID-19 pandemic status has not been revoked by the government even though various relaxation policies have been issued but this cannot loosen various strategies as an effort to control the pandemic. One very strategic strategy as conveyed by Kadinkes is vaccination, where vaccination is a very important strategy in an effort to control the spread of the pandemic expansion. Bali is one of the provinces with Covid-19 vaccination coverage, but this achievement should not make you complacent because there are areas where it turns out that the coverage still has some obstacles. Therefore, an effort is needed to identify problems in the field that cause areas that have not yet met the vaccination coverage target. This can later be used as a reference for making various policies or efforts to increase coverage not only in relation to Covid-19 but in terms of increasing immunization coverage based on other results that are government programs.
