‘The Government of Indonesia has vaccinated more than one crore people in their country. Now, the country is stepping towards testing two popular vaccines among young people.’
As the highly transmissible delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 is causing severe infections among the Indonesian youth, the country is investigating the potential usage of Sinovac and Pfizer vaccines in people under 18 years of age.
The country currently planned to vaccinate 181.5 million youth, who comprise about 70% of the country’s population, by the first quarter of 2022.
“We can issue a comprehensive decision based on the data we have, policy data in other countries, and health scientific data on the EUA that have been given to vaccine companies,” said Sadikin regarding the availability of vaccine data.
