MIGRANT WORKERS ACCORDED PRIORITY TO RECEIVE VACCINE: MINISTER

Jakarta - Manpower Minister Ida Fauziyah has encouraged prospective Indonesian migrant
workers (CPMI) departing for placement countries to be included among priority recipients of the
COVID-19 vaccine.

"It is our wish that our CPMI are also given priority for receiving vaccines. They are a vulnerable
group because they will soon be deployed abroad," Minister Fauziyah remarked while reviewing
worker vaccinations held at the Ministry of Manpower office, Jakarta, Tuesday.

In addition to prospective Indonesian workers (TKI), Minister Fauziyah highlighted the need for
prospective apprentices, who will be placed abroad, to become a priority for recipients of the
COVID-19 vaccine.

In a series of vaccination programs targeting 800 workers, the Ministry of Manpower aims to
vaccinate trade union members and laborers, prospective Indonesian migrant workers, and
apprentices departing the country.

The program was implemented as part of the commemoration of Labor Day or May Day 2021
and part of the government's steps to deal with COVID-19 and its impact on the health and labor
sectors.
"Hence, we are grateful to the CPMI to get priority to receive vaccines. God willing, with the
confidence of their friends, the CPMI will be well-received in placement countries," the minister
stated, adding that the CPMI vaccination would continue.
