SD DAQU KALIBATA
An Effective Breakthrough
At School To Prevent
A Disease Outbreak
Mr. Darmawan M. (Language Coordinator Daqu Kalibata City Jakarta)

On Tuesday,
December 19, 2017, in
accordance with the
1st Rabiul Akhir 1439
Hijriah, Daqu Kalibata
City Primary School
had the opportuni-
ty of conducting the
Diphteria vaccination
program for students,
especially for Grade 1
and Grade 2 students.

The purpose of this
program is to pre-
vent the spreading
of the disease in Ja-
karta area caused by
th e bacteria known
as Corynebacterium
diphtheriae, that may
cause breathing trou-
ble and even death
among children.
The plague has been
an epidemy for these
months; therefore the
Jakarta government
wants to prevent the
outbreak, especially
through vaccination.

At first many of
the kids who had to
take the vaccine were
crying because they
saw the syringes
brought by doctors
from the Rawajati
community health
center (Puskesmas
Rawajati), neverthe-
less, since their teach-
ers are well prepared
to face such a prob-
lem, these kids man-
aged to receive the
Diphtheria vaccine
and returned home
laughing and feeling
proud, since now they
have become immune
to the disease.

This activity has
the purpose of estab-
lishing a strong

Muslim genera-
tion as prescribed in
the Holy Quran surah
Ali Imraan verse 110: “
You are the best na-
tion produced [as an
example] for mankind.
You enjoin what is
right and forbid what
is wrong and believe
in Allah. If only the
People of the Scrip-
ture had believed, it
would have been bet-
ter for them. Among
them are believers,
but most of them are
defiantly disobedient.”
