JAKARTA -- Indonesia is set to start vaccinating its population against COVID-19 next week, a senior minister said, as the country tries to stem the spread of the virus and get its economy back on track.
Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto announced the plans on Monday after a ministerial meeting. He added that the program is contingent upon emergency use approval from the country's food and drugs agency as well as the vaccine receiving a halal certification.
