This policy, said Luhut, has been carried out by several countries such as Saudi Arabia and Malaysia.

"Therefore, the government will pursue the achievement of complete and booster doses of vaccination. I ask people who can already do a booster to immediately do a booster without the need to choose the type of vaccine. All types of vaccines have been proven effective in providing antibodies against COVID-19," he explained.
