Government Distributes 64 Million Covid-19 Vaccines, Majority Produced by Bio Farma

The Indonesian government had distributed 64 million doses of the Covid-19 coronavirus vaccine throughout Indonesia until July 6, 2021. Of that amount, the most widely distributed vaccine was produced by PT Bio Farma (Persero), totaling 52.8 million doses.

A total of 8.2 million doses of the distributed vaccine were AstraZeneca products. This vaccine is the result of a multilateral collaboration through the COVAX program of the World Health Organization (WHO) and GAVI, the global vaccine alliance, to increase immunization coverage.

Furthermore, 3 million doses were Sinovac finished products. This vaccine from China was given in the first phase of vaccination, specifically to Indonesian healthcare workers.

Simultaneously, the "gotong royong" (community-based) vaccination program for businesses through the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) was also underway. They utilized the Sinopharm vaccine from China. A total of 1.5 million doses have been received.

However, only 2% have been injected into employees and business actors. This amounts to 281,638 doses as of July 6, 2021.
