After receiving input and responses from the public, President Joko Widodo decided to cancel the distribution of [self-paid] vaccines through Kimia Farma.

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 government provides two options for small and medium industries for the vaccination program. The first is to participate in the gotong royong vaccination scheme or by participating the government’s vaccination.

Costs considered too high and limited supplies of Covid-19 vaccines mean all business entities can participate in the gotong royong (mutual cooperation) vaccination effort.
