goodmorningpapua.com – The Gapai Harapan Foundation Papua continues to intensify socialization and education to the people of the Yapen Islands regarding the importance of the Covid-19 vaccination.
This step follows that there are still people in the Yapen Islands who are influenced by hoax news about vaccinations so that some people do not dare to vaccinate against Covid-19.
Assistant III of the Secretariat of the Yapen Islands, Wahyudi Irianto representing the Regent of the Yapen Islands, Tonny Tesar conveyed 2 things that were discussed in a cross-sectoral coordination meeting encouraging communities to be tough against disease and vaccination hoaxes, Tuesday, June 14, 2022.
First, explained Wahyudi, regarding the vaccination that has been implemented by the government as an effort to increase the body’s immune system in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. The second is about hoaxes that cannot be denied as one of the impacts of information technology that is deliberately spread to provoke the public.
“I hope that this activity can be a robust base to build commitment and the public should not easily believe, be instigated and even provoked by hoaxes or fake news that harm ourselves,” said Wahyudi.
