Original title: Indonesia launches mass vaccination plan, president will vaccinate China
[Wang Yi, reportero del Global Times]Indonesian Health Minister Gunardi announced on the 5th that the country will begin a national mass vaccination plan for the new corona vaccine on January 13. The plan will be launched in the capital, Jakarta, and President Joko will be the first to be vaccinated. Indonesian channel “Voice of America” said on the 5th that Budi, the head of the Indonesian President’s Secretariat, confirmed the news on the same day and said that President Joko will be vaccinated with the new corona vaccine developed by Beijing Kexing Company of China. He said that President Joko will be vaccinated with the public and military representatives. The event will be broadcast on television for the public to witness and increase confidence in the vaccine.
Reuters said on the 5th that, as the fourth most populous country in the world, Indonesia is the country with the worst epidemic in Southeast Asia. The Indonesian Food and Drug Administration (BPOM) stated that it will soon approve the emergency use of the Koxing vaccine. The department has previously stated that it hopes to approve emergency use permits after studying interim data from clinical trials of the Kexing vaccine in Indonesia, Brazil and Turkey. According to the report, Indonesia has ordered 1.255.5 million doses of the new corona vaccine from Kexing, has received 3 million doses, and will be distributed nationwide on January 3. According to “Voice of America,” the spokesperson for the Indonesian government’s new corona epidemic response team, Professor Wiku, said on the 5th that the distribution of the Kexing vaccine before BPOM issues authorization for the use of Emergency is to improve time efficiency and ensure equitable supply of vaccines.
According to the Japan Times, the Indonesian government has set a target of 246 million doses of the new corona vaccine. In addition to Kexing, the Indonesian government also plans to source vaccines from manufacturers such as Pfizer and AstraZeneca, and is considering developing domestic vaccines to supplement the supply.
Bloomberg said Indonesia will become the first country in Southeast Asia to receive the new corona vaccine. However, unlike many countries in the world that prioritize the elderly and vulnerable groups, Indonesia plans to take the lead in vaccinating the young working population, and medical, police and military personnel will take the lead. Amin, director of the Aikman Institute for Molecular Biology in Indonesia, told Bloomberg that this was done to achieve herd immunity. He noted that after being vaccinated, the most active and exposed population between 18 and 59 years old can form a “barrier” to protect other age groups. Kumari Anto, a member of the Indonesian Bioethics Committee, said that developed countries can start vaccination from the elderly because they know there will be enough doses to cover the entire population. This is not the case in Indonesia. “There is no good option, only the minimum. Bad selection. When Indonesian vaccines are only sufficient for those who are most likely to infect others, they should get vaccinated first. ” Reuters quoted experts as saying that no one should be too arbitrary about which is the correct way. “It is valuable for Indonesia to take a different approach than the United States and Europe. Whether this strategy is better or not, time can only give us the answer.”
