Based on the estimated number of vaccinators, only five out of 34 provinces are expected to complete the program on schedule.
Another study indicates Indonesia will take 10 years to complete its vaccination program at the current pace.
Coinciding with its first pandemic anniversary on March 2, Indonesia’s Health Ministry announced it had detected two cases of a more transmissible COVID-19 variant in the country.
Failing to learn from its previous mistakes, the government has yet to issue any policy in response to the worrisome findings.

Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Techo Hun Sen and his wife Bun Rany received the first doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine at the Calmette Hospital.
Cambodia confirmed 31 new cases, bringing the total number of infections in the kingdom to 909 to date, said a Ministry of Health (MoH) statement. The new infections included 28 locally transmitted cases in capital Phnom Penh and southwestern Preah Sihanouk province and three imported cases, the statement said.
If the Bill is passed without medical and psychological help and strategy, the Indonesia government might put those with alcohol dependency at a serious risk of harm from alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
Yet, testing capacity remains the foremost determinant of a country’s success in containing the virus. Lack of testing can paralyse any plan to curb the outbreak, as tracing and isolating COVID-19 suspects can only be done as much as the tests tell us.
We can see this in the high positivity rates of countries with lower testing capacity relative to their population size. While WHO has capped a maximum positivity rate at 5%, countries like Indonesia, Ukraine, Mexico, as well as several South American and African countries could hardly go below 15%. This is essentially the problem of low testing capacity.
