SEAToday.com, Jakarta - Pekan Imunisasi Nasional atau PIN Polio telah memasuki tahap 2 yang dimulai pada Selasa, 23 Juli 2024. PIN Polio adalah program yang bertujuan untuk memberikan vaksin Polio kepada anak-anak dalam rentang usia 0 hingga 59 bulan.

Dikutip dari laman resmi UPTD. Puskesmas Mengwi II Kabupaten Badung, program PIN Polio menjadi bagian dari upaya pencegahan terhadap Kejadian Luar Biasa (KLB) penyakit yang dapat dicegah dengan imunisasi (PD3I), seperti tuberkulosis, difteri, pertusis, polio, campak, dan rubella.

Vaksinasi Polio disarankan dilakukan sebanyak 4 kali hingga anak mencapai usia 4 bulan, dengan harapan bahwa melalui cakupan imunisasi yang luas dan merata di setiap wilayah anak-anak dapat terhindar dari virus Polio.

Dilansir dari laman Sehat Negeriku Kementerian Kesehatan RI, Kementerian Kesehatan (Kemenkes) RI masih menerima laporan terkait Kejadian Luar Biasa (KLB) akibat virus Polio di sejumlah wilayah di Indonesia. Sebanyak 32 Provinsi dan 399 kabupaten/kota di Indonesia masuk dalam kategori risiko tinggi polio.

Sejak 2022 hingga 2024, telah dilaporkan sebanyak total 12 kasus kelumpuhan, dengan 11 kasus yang disebabkan oleh virus polio tipe 2 dan satu kasus diakibatkan oleh virus polio tipe 1. Kasus-kasus ini tersebar di 8 provinsi di Indonesia, yaitu Aceh, Jawa Barat, Jawa Tengah, Jawa Timur, Papua Tengah, Papua Pegunungan, Papua Selatan, dan Banten.

Plt. Direktur Jenderal Pencegahan dan Pengendalian Penyakit (P2P) Kemenkes Dr. Yudi Pramono menyampaikan bahwa, dengan adanya laporan kasus polio serta risiko penularan virus polio yang tinggi, Kemenkes kembali menggelar Pekan Imunisasi Nasional (PIN) Polio tahap kedua. PIN Polio ini akan dilaksanakan pada minggu ketiga Juli 2024.

"Pelaksanaan PIN Polio akan dilakukan secara massal dan serentak untuk mencapai kekebalan kelompok yang optimal dan dapat mencegah perluasan transmisi virus polio," kata Dr. Yudi, Jumat, 19 Juli 2024.

Pemberian imunisasi pada PIN Polio sangat penting untuk mencegah virus polio yang dapat mengakibatkan kelumpuhan permanen, terutama pada anak-anak yang belum mendapatkan imunisasi polio lengkap. Sasaran PIN Polio adalah anak usia 0 hingga 7 tahun tanpa memandang status imunisasi sebelumnya. Vaksin yang akan diberikan adalah vaksin imunisasi tetes dan suntik.
