"The whole population of Bali is approximately 4.32 million.

He explained that until Wednesday, 2 June 2021, the number of recipients of the first dose of COVID-19 vaccine had reached 1,325,407 people. While those who have received the second dose had reached 636,639 people. Meanwhile, there are still 724,324 doses of vaccine stock currently available.

"Province-wise, this is an extraordinary achievement," he said.
