President Joko Widodo delivers a statement regarding the third dose or booster vaccination, at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, Tuesday (11/1/2022).

JAKARTA, KOMPAS -- The government started to administer booster Covid-19 vaccine shots – the third dose – for free on 12 January 2022, prioritizing the elderly, vulnerable groups with immune disorders, as well as people aged 18 years and older who have already received two doses. This effort is being made to increase the community's immunity considering that the coronavirus continues to mutate.

"For this reason, I have decided to give this third vaccine free of charge to all Indonesians because, once again I emphasize, the safety of the people is the main priority," said President Joko Widodo.
