JAKARTA - Minister of Health (Menkes) Budi Gunadi Sadikin asked the public not to be picky about the type of vaccine. According to him, all types of vaccines are the same because of their benefits for building antibodies.

"We urge the public not to be picky about vaccines because all vaccines provide the same benefit, namely building antibodies," said Minister of Health Budi in an online press conference broadcast on the YouTube of the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment of the Republic of Indonesia, Monday, August 23.

He said the government does have various types of COVID-19 vaccines. Most recently included are Pfizer and Moderna. However, this request was submitted to ensure that the provision of vaccines can be carried out free of charge and free of charge by irresponsible persons.

"This is very important to help the government keep this vaccine (giving, red) free. All people who are injected are free and no one pays for it," said the former Deputy Minister of SOEs. Budi asked the public to continue to monitor the implementation of the COVID-19 vaccine. He invited the public to submit complaints if there were individuals who took advantage of the vaccine injection process.

"If someone asks to be paid, please contact the Ministry of Health's complaint at 021-100567 or email complaint.itjen@kemkes.go.id," said Budi.

"So this vaccine is free, we ask the public to also take care so that no payments are made and can submit complaints," he concluded.
