Indonesia clears seventh vaccine for use to bolster virus fight; cooperates with China to build Covid-19 vaccine


JAKARTA, Aug 30 (Bernama): Grappling with a surging virus wave, Indonesia on Wednesday took another step to boost vaccinations, granting emergency use approval for another vaccine - Russia’s Sputnik V.

This is the seventh Covid-19 vaccine cleared for use in Indonesia, which has so far fully vaccinated just over 32.6 million people - a little under 16 per cent of the vaccination target of 208.26 million, Anadolu Agency reported.
