If the plan is approved by the Indonesian Food and Drug Administration, it means that the fourth most populous country in the world will become one of the first countries in the world to launch a new coronavirus vaccine.

Joko said: “We hope to begin vaccination later this year after a series of tests conducted by the Food and Drug Administration.” At the same time, he emphasized that ensuring vaccine safety is a priority and that health workers, the police and the military will be vaccinated first. . “Hopefully this (vaccination campaign) will have a positive economic impact, which is very important to us.”
