Minister of Health Budi Gunadi Sadikin said that the stock of booster doses of COVID vaccination was actually sufficient. As directed by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), the stock continues to be imported by the government both from abroad and within the country.
"Indeed, our booster still has stock coming in from abroad, the grant is above 4 million doses. Then yesterday at the direction of the president, we bought domestic production from both Inavac and Indovac, the total is between 5-10 million doses," explained Minister of Health Budi, quoted from the Presidential Secretariat Youtube, Friday, December 30.
With this amount, the stock of the COVID vaccine booster dose is actually sufficient. However, the injection capacity has greatly decreased from 2 million per day to 100-150 thousand.
"So the stock (booster dose) is there," explained Budi.
Budi also asked for assistance from all media to continue to provide socialization to the elderly in order to get a booster dose of vaccination.
"We are observing that more than 50 percent have not been vaccinated and more than 70 percent have not been in the booster. So asking for help is also being helped, we urge the elderly, who have not been vaccinated and boosted quickly. The stock is like earlier, there are still around 10 million doses," said Budi.
