SOUTH PAPUA – TSE Group subsidiary Dongin Prabhawa (DP) recently collaborated with the DP Clinic staff to promote School Immunization Month (abbreviated as BIAS in Indonesian), an annual government program providing booster vaccinations for elementary school students. Its goal is to strengthen immune systems in school-aged children, enabling them to fight against serious, growth-affecting diseases like measles, diphtheria, tetanus, and rubella.

An event was set up in YPK Mam Elementary in Ngguti District (Merauke Regency, South Papua Province) on Tuesday (11/26). DP Clinic opened by introducing clean and healthy habits before administering shots.

Around 75 students joined the session and later received mung bean porridge from the company to boost nutritional intake. Excitement could be seen in the audience as they welcomed the medical team.

“This health service support is part of our social responsibility and duty to improve the well-being of local communities. We are committed to providing support and aid to ensure a continuous run of BIAS,” said Dongin Prabhawa representative Habibi.

Since last October, DP has accommodated BIAS events at nearby schools. Currently, there are 322 students whom the company helped vaccinate, considering that 6-12-year-olds lack developed immunity and are prone to contracting diseases compared to adults.

These risks may increase under poor environmental and lifestyle conditions, further exposing children to infections of varying severity. Having a mature immune system is key to protecting their health and promoting optimal growth and development.
