Indonesia Issues Emergency Use Authorization to AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 Vaccine

Indonesia’s Food and Drug Monitoring Agency (BPOM) has given the green light for the Covid-19 vaccine produced by UK pharmaceutical firm AstraZeneca.

“BPOM has granted emergency use authorization [EUA] to AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine on February 22 under the EUA number 2158100143A1,” BPOM head Penny Lukito told a press conference which was held virtually on Tuesday, March 9.

Penny added that the application for the emergency use of the Covid-19 vaccine was done multilaterally and registered directly by AstraZeneca Indonesia.

"[The EUA] was registered through the bilateral production line of AstraZeneca in Europe and Siam Bioscience in Thailand," she asserted. BPOM had evaluated with the National Committee for Drug Evaluation and other relevant parties, before granting the emergency use permit.

“BPOM had estimated the efficacy of the vaccine was 62.1 percent.”

Indonesia received the first shipment of more than a million doses of AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine on Monday, March 8. Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said it was the first batch of vaccines that Indonesia received through the multilateral channel.

During the first phase, which runs until May, Indonesia will receive a total of 11,748,000 ready-to-use vaccines.
