JAKARTA, KOMPAS — People have the right to get the Covid-19 vaccine. The limited number of vaccines, however, means that it must be administered based on a scale of priority. All parties, therefore, need to ensure that the vaccines are given to vulnerable groups, both through the state-led program and the private gotong royong program.
The Health Ministry’s spokesperson for Covid-19 vaccination, Siti Nadia Tarmizi, said when contacted in Jakarta on Thursday (20/5/2021) that the government had prepared two vaccination schemes, namely the state-led program and the private gotong royong program. The state-led one is given free of charge for the general public, while in the gotong royong program, the vaccine costs are borne by companies and given free of charge for their employees.
