Until that happens, the Indonesian government has partnered with China and the United Kingdom to obtain a Covid-19 vaccine candidate namely China’s Sinovac and Sinopharm, and the UK’s AstraZeneca.
“While we wait for Indonesia’s Covid-19 vaccine to be ready in early 2022, we will take advantage of our existing cooperation with China and the UK,” stated Terawan on Oct. 15.
“Because of the double shots required with the vaccine, we have to decide on who will be prioritized in receiving the inoculation. We will first prioritize medical workers who are at the frontline in the fight against the pandemic,” Terawan concluded.
