The government allocates 5.1 million modern vaccines from the Covax Facility for the general public. The Acting Director General of Disease Prevention and Control (P2P) of the Indonesian Ministry of Health, Maxi Rein Rondonowu, said that the vaccination was already underway.
The distribution of 5.1 million modern vaccines carried out throughout Indonesia. According to him, there is no special priority for the distribution of Moderna vaccinations for the general public.
“Free (there is no particular priority). As long as there is availability of the vaccine, it doesn’t discriminate between people,” explained Maxi when contacted by AFP on Thursday (12/8/2021).
Except for children who can already get the COVID-19 vaccination. Dr. Maxi insisted on using another type of COVID-19 vaccine.
“Unless 12-17 year olds can only Sinovac,” he said.
He again reminded that the Moderna vaccine is not for booster vaccination as it is given to health workers. The number of distributions of Moderna vaccines to a number of regions is also quite diverse.
“It’s true for the general public who have never been vaccinated with doses 1 and 2. So it’s not the third dose,” he said.
For example, DKI Jakarta received 200 thousand doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. West Java, Central Java, East Java, each received more than 500 thousand doses of the Moderna vaccine.
Outside Java Bali, Riau Islands, Lampung, West Kalimantan, to West Nusa Tenggara ‘rationed’ more than 100 thousand doses modern vaccines. Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin previously said that vaccination would be prioritized in areas with high risk of COVID-19.
While the number of vaccination coverage is targeted per day to penetrate 2 million injections. The Minister of Health also previously conducted audits related to the vaccination program, starting from distribution to the implementation of vaccinations to prevent deviant actions.
This mRNA-tech vaccine has also been tested effective against the Delta variant of COVID-19. But under current conditions, the best vaccines are those available and most readily available, and have been approved for use by the WHO.
