The government has finally decided to provide vaccines for free to all. Since President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo announced the free vaccine plan recently, it has become the hot topic of public debate and has also brought enthusiasm to a number of parties. There is even an assumption that with the arrival of the vaccine, Covid-19 could be totally resolved. There are also exaggerated expectations such as with the vaccination, the economy will be able to grow faster.

In fact, everyone knows, a vaccine is not medicine. It means that we cannot just rely on a vaccine in stopping the transmission of Covid-19. In fact, it is the discipline of people in adhering to health protocols that is the key to halting Covid-19 transmission. Moreover, there are still many crucial problems in vaccine procurement, especially related to the 1.2 million-dose Sinovac vaccines. There are questions about safety and the effectiveness of protection (efficacy) of the vaccine, the availability of state funds, to the effectiveness of vaccine distribution patterns.
