Indonesia's Jokowi Kicks off Covid-19 Vaccination Program

President Joko Widodo of Indonesia initiates the country's mass vaccination program by receiving the first dose of China's Sinovac vaccine. This move aims to boost public confidence amid concerns about the vaccine's efficacy. The program targets inoculating 181 million people, including medical workers and public servants, within 15 months. Despite challenges such as high positivity rates and logistical issues due to Indonesia's vast archipelago, the government is committed to the campaign. Religious leaders have approved the vaccine for the Muslim-majority population, addressing cultural concerns.
