The TelkomGroup Covid-19 vaccination drive has covered nearly all company employees in all regions. It is part of the company's commitment to support the national vaccination drive to accelerate achieving communal immunity in Indonesia.

Jakarta, August 30, 2021 – TelkomGroup's Covid-19 vaccination program has covered nearly all employees in all regions. The program, which began in early July 2021, shows the company's commitment to support the national vaccination program in a bid to accelerate achieving communal immunity  in Indonesia.

TelkomGroup has rolled out vaccination drives in all regions independently and in cooperation with the regional health agencies and local health facilities. As per Sunday (29/8), TelkomGroup's vaccination drive has accelerated vaccination to 67,737 employees including those working in subsidiaries, foundations, affiliates, and contract workers, which are nearly 100 percent of TelkomGroup employees who met the health requirements to get the Covid-19 vaccine.

Apart from vaccinating company employees, TelkomGroup also vaccinates all members of the employees' families. TelkomGroup ensures that the nation-wide Covid-19 vaccination drive will continue until all employees and family members have been vaccinated.

“This drive shows TelkomGroup's commitment in accelerating the government's national vaccination drive. Moreover, the vaccination drive is a manifestation of the company's concern in ensuring that all employees and families of TelkomGroup are safe from the threat of Covid-19 in their activities. We hope that this program can accelerate communal immunity, so that Indonesia can quickly rise up and achieve the government's national development goals," Telkom Human Capital Management Director Afriwandi said, while accompanying Telkom President Director Ririek Adriansyah to oversee the TelkomGroup vaccination drive, along with SGM Human Capital Business Partner Center Sendy Aditya Kamesvara, Telkom Corporate Communication & Investor Relations SVP Ahmad Reza, Telkom Corporate Secretary SVP Indrawan Ditapradana, and Telkom Regional II EVP Teuku Muda Nanta in The Telkom Hub area, Jakarta (30/8).

Since it began on 12 July, TelkomGroup's vaccination drive has administered the Covid-19 vaccine to 57,059 family members of company employees. It is equivalent to 75.17 percent of the 75,910 family members of TelkomGroup employees who are entitled to get the Covid-19 vaccine.

As of 29 August 2021, there have been 124,796 employees and their family members who have received the Covid-19 vaccine from this drive. It is equivalent to 86.87 percent of TelkomGroup's 143,653 employees and their families. 

TelkomGroup's nation-wide vaccination drive is held by utilizing the most of all the company's infrastructure and company offices in various regions. TelkomGroup set up vaccination centers in a number of company offices that have adequate capacity for the program. In addition, TelkomGroup also carries out vaccination center activities in collaboration with relevant agencies such as local public health facilities, the Armed Forces, and the National Police in a number of areas.

TelkomGroup makes sure that the entire vaccination drive runs in accordance with the procedures and implements strict health protocols based on government regulations. The company also makes the most use of all information technology it has in the vaccination drive mechanism. All employees and their family members can get vaccinated under several conditions, including being in good health, aged 12 years and older for certain types of vaccines, pregnant women with the doctor's approval, and Covid-19 survivors who have recovered for more than three months.

Afriwandi said "we will continue to carry out this vaccination drive until the entire TelkomGroup family get their jabs to increase their immunity against the Covid-19 pandemic. Almost all employees are vaccinated, further vaccination drives will focus on all family members of employees.”

In addition to extensively organizing the vaccination drive, TelkomGroup also continues to call on the public to download and use the PeduliLindungi application. "In addition to vaccination, TelkomGroup is also committed to preventing the spread of Covid-19 through its employees to use the most of PeduliLindung application so that tracing will be easier and recorded," Afriwandi said.
