JAKARTA, March 28 (Reuters): Indonesia expects a slowdown in Covid-19 inoculations next month as India delays shipments of AstraZeneca vaccines, its health minister has announced.

India has put a temporary hold on all major exports of the AstraZeneca coronavirus shot made by Serum Institute of India (SII), prioritising domestic demand as infections rise, Reuters reported earlier this week.
