Furthermore, he is still reminded that after a booster does not mean the body is immune. Residents must continue to implement the 3M, namely maintaining distance, wearing masks, and washing hands. In addition, he also invited the wider community to immediately carry out vaccines for the sake of mutual health. "In this case, I still remind you that you must continue to run 3M even though you have boosted for comfort and maintain your health together. Especially approaching Eid, the protocol must be more stringent because mobility is also getting higher," he said.
On the other hand, Dr. Nur Subekti, ST., MT., Deputy Chancellor III of UMM said that this vaccination was intended for boarding houses. Even by providing and facilitating vaccinations for students before going home and Eid. He also hopes that this vaccination process can continue to be intensified, considering that there are still some residents who have not been vaccinated. Some have not even received the vaccine at all.
Eki, his nickname, also said that the White Campus was very open if there were agencies that wanted to vaccinate at UMM. According to him, this is an effort of UMM to restore normal conditions in society. Likewise, with efforts to form a full offline lecture ecosystem in the future.

"Of course, this vaccination is our effort to normalize the condition of the community. In the future, if all students have received a booster and conditions are getting better, it is not impossible that next semester offline lectures can be held with a larger ratio," he added.
As for Aldin, one of the participants was happy to be able to administer the vaccine easily. Moreover, the distance is quite close, namely on the campus itself. So far, he has had difficulty getting a booster because it is getting closer to Eid. He has also felt safe and comfortable thanks to this third vaccine.
"Of course, we hope that this booster can increase immunity and body resistance so that it becomes stronger to ward off viruses. Hopefully, vaccination programs like this can be more massively distributed so that this program can be more evenly distributed. Especially in areas that are difficult to reach,” said the UMM informatics student. (haq/wil)
