President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo has officially rolled out Indonesia's first developed COVID-19 vaccine Indovac for adult primary shots, instructing his administration to seek ways to achieve self-sufficiency in vaccines.
A group of adults received their jabs on Thursday in the event at state-owned pharmaceutical company Bio Farma in Bandung, West Java, marking the launching of the new vaccine.
The company is expected to manufacture around 20 million doses a year for the initial phase of production.
