JAKARTA (AFP) – Indonesia opened its coronavirus booster campaign to the public yesterday as the country records rising infections driven by the Omicron variant.
The free shots will be given to the elderly and at-risk residents as a priority, but will be available to everyone who received their second dose six months prior, President Joko Widodo said on Tuesday after announcing the decision.
The boosters will be administered as half doses due to supply shortages, said Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin.
