For almost 3 years the Corona Virus Pandemic has attacked the world and Indonesia, this deadly virus has had a significant impact on the economies of world countries, activity restrictions have been implemented as a form of breaking the chain of virus transmission, using masks, maintaining personal and environmental hygiene as well as vaccination programs for the entire population with an age range of 6 to the elderly was also carried out.

As a Covid-19 Vaccination Team in one of the North Aceh District Health Service Facilities with a target of reaching 16,000 people, I feel relieved by the condition of the spread of the virus that can be suppressed through programs implemented by the Government of Indonesia in a structured manner involving all elements.

Recently, at the beginning of November 2022, the Province of Aceh was again shocked by the discovery of a new case in one of the districts in the Province of Aceh, with the finding of this case in Pidie District, the local government implemented an extraordinary case of polio in the district. This is an important lesson for the people of Aceh Province, considering that the Poliomyelitis Virus has not been found in Indonesia for the past few years.

Low Vaccination Coverage for the community is the main cause of contracting various types of diseases in Aceh, I have come face to face with this condition, when people are apathetic towards all types of vaccines as a form of immunity for babies, toddlers and children. Refusal of vaccination is expected to be a reference for the public to understand the importance of immunization as body immunity.

Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by the Poliomyelitis virus with a risk of paralysis, the virus attacks the motor neurons of the spinal cord which damages the motor neurons, usually this virus attacks children under 5 years of age with an infection period of 3 to 6 days and then will experience paralysis with a range of between 7 and 21 days.

In general, children who have been infected with the Poliomyelitis Virus experience symptoms in the form of nausea and vomiting, increased body temperature, sore throat and headaches. There have been several cases of loss of body reflexes and respiratory system disorders.

Strategic Steps Against Case Finding

The Government of Indonesia with the discovery of new cases in Aceh Province, through the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia encourages each Regional Government to increase Polio Vaccine Coverage for Children so as to minimize the spread of viruses that spread through the environment (poor Sanitary Hygiene). An environment with poor sanitation hygiene is an important step to minimize the spread of this virus, then vaccination is given to the Integrated Service Post that has been formed in the village and visits to existing schools.

The role of parents is very important to support the Poliomyelitis vaccination program considering that health workers within our scope of work will provide polio drip vaccination when receiving a parental consent letter, this is done to avoid complaints and lawsuits later if they find out their child has received polio drop vaccination.

The Polio National Immunization Sub-Week in North Aceh District is carried out continuously in every elementary school and kindergarten, then as I said earlier by visiting the Integrated Service Post by the Village Midwife and the vaccination team that has been formed.

The implementation of the Polio Vaccination was carried out after receiving instructions from the North Aceh District Health Office which is an extension of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. Every Health Service Facility in North Aceh in particular and the Province of Aceh in general carry out simultaneous vaccinations. The figure below shows all levels of the Health Service Facility including doctors, nurses, midwives, laboratory personnel, nutritionists and environmental health workers following the morning call to listen to technical instructions for the implementation of the polio vaccine simultaneously.

We and I hope that this virus storm will soon pass and the Indonesian people will be free from this virus with the support of the community through the vaccination program
