Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – The Minister of State-Owned Enterprises and Chairman of the Committee for the Management of Covid-19 and Economic Recovery, Erick Thohir, confirmed that 93 million people will receive the Covid-19 vaccine from the government, free of charge. These 93 million people are active members of BPJS Kesehatan. The reason is that not all residents can have the same facilities.
Meanwhile, outside of this number, they will make the vaccine independently because there are not few people who can afford it.
“We hope there are 2 types, there is government assistance through BPJS Health data of 93 million people who need it and we make sure that people who need it receive government programs. We involved the Independent Program because many parties can afford buy. We don’t want the burden of everything to become a government program. ” Erick said at a virtual press conference, Wednesday (2/9/2020).
In fact, according to him, many companies are currently ordering vaccines for their employees.
Erick said that this mass vaccination is an important thing for the government to do next year. The implementation will also involve the roles of TNI and Polri to oversee the process.
“We hope this health program is important,” he said.
