Follow-up immunization is repeated immunization to maintain the level of immunity or to maintain the period of protection. Follow-up immunizations are given to children under the age of three (toddlers), elementary school-aged children and women of childbearing age. The coverage of follow-up immunization at the Tambakrejo Health Center in 2020 has decreased compared to 2021 by 14% in the follow-up immunization of DPT-HB-Hib and by 7.3% in the follow-up immunization against measles.
