“Regarding the Covid-19 vaccine, the President said that the agglomeration in Java and Bali will soon be completed with a minimum of 70% already achieved by the end of September 2021,” explained Minister of Health Budi.
In addition, Minister of Health, Budi said, there are 45 districts/cities outside Java and Bali which are priority to get the vaccine. Some of these regencies/cities receive priority from the government, because the number of confirmed cases is high. In addition, there are also several other exclusive areas that are the focus of government vaccines.
