Minister of Health, Budi Gunadi Sadikin, said the government is expecting to provide the booster shot to at least 70 percent of the targeted recipients.
"I see in all over the world, there is no country that can achieve 100 percent (of the target). So honestly, it's impossible to achieve. The important thing is that above 70 percent is good," he remarked.
In the past 15 months, as many as 205 million Indonesians have received the COVID-19 vaccine, including the first, second, and booster doses, with 410 million doses administered so far.
Minister Sadikin urged Indonesians to get the booster dose for better protection against COVID-19.
