- Indonesia started vaccinating health workers and public servants for COVID-19 on Thursday (Jan 14), a day after President Joko Widodo received the first shot of China’s Sinovac Biotech vaccine.
- The health ministry is planning to vaccinate more than 1.3 million health workers and 17.4 million public officials in the first stage.
- Indonesia, the world’s fourth most populous country, plans to vaccinate two-thirds of its population of about 270 million people – or more than 180 million people.
- “The pandemic is still going on and healthcare workers are the frontliners in caring for COVID-19 patients,” Deputy Health Minister Dante Saksono said.
- The first 25 health workers to get the jab were employees of Jakarta’s Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital.
