Summary

  • The idea of Gotong Royong Vaccination for individuals emerged after the progress of a similar private vaccination program initiated by the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) did not go as planned.
  • The government backed the plan since it could have boosted the vaccination rate without having to allocate the state budget (APBN). State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) and private companies would have funded the program.
  • The plan draws criticisms from many parties, including the top immunization official at the WHO, Dr. Ann Lindstrand. She argued that the individually-paid vaccination could create ethical problems and restrict people’s access to vaccines.
  • The government finally decided to go against the Gotong Royong Vaccination for individuals, expectedly distributed by PT Kimia Farma Tbk (KAEF).
