The International Program of Undergraduate Study Program in Law Conducting Covid-19 Vaccination for Students

The International Program of Undergraduate Study Program in Law of the Faculty of Law of Universitas Islam Indonesia and the Juridical Council of International Program held a vaccination for International Program students who live in Yogyakarta and its surroundings, on Tuesday (22/06/2021).

The Secretary of International Program, Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, S.H., M.H., LL.M., Ph.D., stated that vaccination is one of the efforts to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic situation. The vaccination was held at the Hospital of Universitas Islam Indonesia for free, attended by 23 students of the International Program of the Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia from batch 2015, 2018, 2019, until 2020. The participants are limited because of the stocks of the vaccine either. But that is not an excuse for do nothing. “We want to make herd immunity environment in our Faculty, as fast as we can. We really hope that this program will bring benefit for our students”, said Dodik Setiawan.

According to him, vaccination is fundamental as an effort to face the near-future Faculty’s programs, such as the trial of the hybrid lecture system. The hybrid lecture system is one of the first steps in implementing large-scale offline lectures in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic situation. The faculty hopes that with vaccination, students can take offline lectures that will be conducted with specific health protocols. But for the offline lectures scenario seems that cannot be conducted in the near-future. The Faculty still implement the online system for this and next semester.

“We don’t know when this pandemic over, but we must do something for our children”, he said. Dodik Setiawan hopes that through this vaccination program, herd immunity can be achieved soon. “We will discuss with related authorities for the next vaccination program for our students as soon as the stocks is ready.”
