Red and White Vaccine

Not only importing millions of vaccines, the government is looking to build a vaccine factory from China in Indonesia, this is causing chaos among the people because it seems as if the government only focuses on investment growth without paying attention to the long-term impact on the progress of research and domestic industry.

Even though the government that imports the vaccine seems irresponsible for the development of the Red and White Vaccine, the government is still obliged to provide vaccines to its citizens to fight Covid-19 and that must be done now. 

After the arrival of the Covid-19 mass vaccine of eight million doses, completing the number of vaccines received by Indonesia to 123.5 million doses in the form of raw materials, bringing the total dose of Indonesian vaccine to 151.9 million, Covid-19 cases in Indonesia decreased from 51,000 new cases. to 7,000 new cases every day.

The best way to solve this problem is to balance the funds between the import and development of the Red and White Vaccine and offer the Red and White Vaccine as a booster vaccine after development is complete.

 "If the Red and White vaccine is not ready in the near future, then the Red and White vaccine will be an alternative for the availability of vaccines in the future. Either as a booster. We don't know yet whether the vaccine or the vaccination that we have received will be able to maintain our immunity," he said. Ismunandar in a hearing (RDP) Commission VII DPR, Wednesday (16/6/2021).
