A much-anticipated regulation on COVID-19 vaccines and vaccination has been issued.
President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo signed Presidential Regulation No. 99/2020 on vaccine procurement and vaccination to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic on Monday.
It came into effect the next day.
The decree breaks down requirements for the procurement, implementation, funding and support and facilities from ministries, institutions and regional administrations concerning COVID-19 vaccination.
According to the regulation, frontline workers, from health workers and contact-tracing paramedics to military and law enforcement personnel, will be prioritized for vaccination.
They number some 3.5 million people.
The second-priority group are religious and community leaders, local authorities at district, village, community and neighborhood units, who number more than 6 million individuals.
