BIAN phase 2 will be implemented starting August 2022 in provinces in Java and Bali. Measles rubella immunization targets children aged 9 to 59 months, and catch-up immunization is given to children aged 12 to 59 months who do not complete OPV, IPV, and DPT-HB-Hib immunization.

"Chasing immunization is an effort to provide immunization to individuals because they have missed one or more doses of vaccine that should have been given," Syahril remarked.

"The implementation can coincide with the routine immunization schedule or special immunization activities," he added.
