Universitas Muhammadiyah Lampung (UM Lampung) collaborated with Muhammadiyah Covid-19 Command Center (MCCC) to conduct the Covid-19 vaccination for the Lampung people. The vaccination targeted 2000 participants from Muhammadiyah members in Lampung, public community, and interfaith person, Monday-Thursday (09-12/08).

The Head of Health Service in Lampung, Reihana, explained that the vaccination would be an effort to flatten the curve of the Covid-19 patients.”If we have been vaccinated, when we confirm as Covid-19 positive, the symptom we get will be moderate,” Reihana said, as reported on suaramuhammadiyah.id.

While the government underwent 3T (Test, Tracing, and Treatment), the communities should apply a strict health protocol to support the excellent collaboration between government and communities in reducing Covid-19 transmission.

Prof Dr H Marzuki Noor, MS, mentioned the Muhammadiyah efforts in encouraging vaccination programs, including education, socialization, mask-wearing, simultaneously by Muhammadiyah Regional Board and many others. “Five thousand vaccines quota have been divided for the vaccination scheduled,” the Chairman of Muhammadiyah Province Board (PWM) Lampung said.

The Chairman of MCCC Lampung, dr H Wirman, MKes explained that the vaccination was open for everyone, not only Muslims but also the people of other faiths. ”Because Muhammadiyah da’wa movement orientation was for all religions, not only Muslims. I expect that in the future, we can provide a greater number of vaccines,” he said.

In line with the previous statement, Dr H Dalman MPd, the Rector of UM Lampung emphasized the commitment to serve the communities to access vaccines without concerning about religious views. “All religions, not only for Muslim, we will serve to get vaccine and I expect that the vaccination can end the pandemic, in Lampung especially,” he said.
