He also added that the Diphtheria Injection Program was the program of Student Executive Board (Badan Eksekutif Mahasiswa) which was held every year as a form of concern for student’s health. “It happened that this program was a continuation of our program last year, so we as the organizers took the initiative to continue,” he said.
Azizs hopes that the program in collaboration with Duri Kepa Community Health Center (Puskesmas Duri Kepa) will be continued to increase awareness in terms of community health, especially students.
“This is a very positive program so that in the future, hopefully it can be continued, and we hope students can be spared from the diphtheria outbreak, because this is a vaccine for prevention, so it is better to prevent it than cure,” he concluded.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
