JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/Asia News Network): The Health Ministry has announced that it will add one of the more widely available Covid-19 vaccines with halal certification to the state-led booster jab rollout, in an effort to assuage the concerns of the country’s Muslim majority.

A ministry official confirmed on Tuesday (April 26) that it would add the CoronaVac vaccine, co-manufactured by state-run pharmaceuticals company BioFarma and China’s Sinovac Biotech, to its current roster of booster shot offerings.
