IMPLEMENTASI PROGRAM VAKSINASI DI KABUPATEN TANGGAMUS

Penyebaran Covid-19, menuntut pemerintah untuk merumuskan berbagai program kebijakan guna percepatan penanganan pandemi Covid-19. salah satu program pemerintah dalam percepatan penanganan Covid-19 yaitu melalui pelaksanaan program vaksinasi nasional, dengan target capaian pada akhir tahun 2021 sebanyak 75% populasi sudah mendapatkan vaksinasi.  Akan tetapi pada prakteknya, capaian vaksinasi di Indonesia dirasakan masih kurang efektif, hal ini ditandai dengan belum meratanya capaian vaksinasi di daerah. Vaksinasi di Kabupaten Tanggamus sampai dengan akhir tahun 2021 masih belum sesuai harapan, dimana vaksinasi dosis 1 baru tercapai 72,00% sementara dosis 2 baru 34,93%. Beberapa kendala seperti keterbatasan dan keterlambatan distribusi vaksin Covid-19, penyebaran gerai vaksinasi dan tenaga vaksinator yang belum merata, kurangnya sinergi antar instansi dalam pelaksanaan program vaksinasi hingga masih adanya ketakutan masyarakat akan dampak lanjutan pasca vaksinasi. Mendasari hal tersebut, Bupati Tanggamus telah menerbitkan Surat Edaran Bupati Nomor: 360/4924/25/2001 tentang Vaksinasi Terpadu Dalam Rangka Percepatan Vaksinasi Covid-19 di Kabupaten Tanggamus. Hal ini guna mendorong percepatan pelaksanaan program vaksinasi nasional untuk membangun kekebalan komunitas (herd immunity) sebagai salah satu dalam memutus mata rantai penyebaran Covid-19. Adapun untuk mendukung implementasi kebijakan tersebut, perlu penguatan sinergi antar instansi dalam percepatan program vaksinasi melalui tahapan pengorganisasian, interpretasi dan penerapan. The ongoing spread of Covid-19 requires the government to formulate various policy programs. One of the government's focuses is in Accelerating the handling of Covid-19, namely through the implementation of a national vaccination program with a target of achievement of 75% of the population by the end of 2021. However, in practice, vaccination achievements are still ineffective, this is indicated by the unequal distribution of vaccination achievements in the regions. In Tanggamus Regency until the end of 2021 is still not as expected, where the 1st dose of vaccination has only reached 72.00% while the 2nd dose is only 34.93%. Several obstacles in the implementation of the vaccination program, such as the limitations and delays in the distribution of the Covid-19 vaccine, the uneven distribution of vaccination booths and vaccinator staff, the lack of synergy between agencies in the implementation of the vaccination program and the public's fear of post-vaccination effects. Based on this, the Regent of Tanggamus has issued a Circular Letter of the Regent Number: 360/4924/25/2001. This aims to accelerate the achievement of the target in realizing community immunity (herd immunity). As for supporting the implementation of the policy, it is necessary to strengthen the synergy between agencies in accelerating the vaccination program through the stages of organization, interpretation and implementation.
