JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The government has announced the prices for its gotong royong Covid-19 vaccination drive. However, the costs are considered too high, and the government is expected to be more transparent about its calculation, specifically the profits included.
Public policy observer Agus Pambagio said on Tuesday (18/5/2021) that the prices for the gotong royong vaccine must indeed be fixed, so that the costs in the market can be controlled.
