Citi Indonesia has kicked off the first phase of the COVID-19 vaccination program for its employees through the Indonesian government’s Mutual Cooperation (Gotong Royong) vaccine program.
In a statement, the bank expressed its appreciation towards the Indonesian government for enabling the private sector to take part in the Gotong Royong vaccination program which helped the bank to protect its employees from the COVID-19 pandemic.
“This is crucial in helping to ensure the safety and confidence of our employees to continue to work,” Citi Indonesia CEO Batara Sianturi said.
“Furthermore, we would also like to thank Kimia Farma for their support and the implementation of the vaccination.”
The Gotong Royong program is initiated by the Indonesian government and is supported by various parties, including PT Bio Farma (Persero) and its subsidiary, Kimia Farma.
As of today, more than 75 per cent of Citi Indonesia employees are working from home.
Once all bank employees have been vaccinated, Citi Indonesia will continue to implement the health protocols that have been established thus far until receiving further directions from the government.
At present, the bank has vaccinated its employees with Sinopharm, which is used in the early stages of the government’s vaccination program.
