Kadin Commitment to Accelerate Mutual Cooperation Vaccination
Chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin), Arsjad Rasjid, is committed to accelerating the realization of mutual cooperation vaccinations for business entities.
Entrepreneurs, he said, wanted to help the government achieve community immunity to suppress the spread of Covid-19. Kadin has received registrations from more than 28 thousand companies with a total of 10.5 million participants. Candidates for the mutual cooperation vaccination program are not only company employees, but also employees' families. So far, Kadin has distributed the vaccine in two stages. In the first stage, as many as 330 thousand doses were injected to 165,000 participants. The next allocation, amounting to 600 thousand doses will be distributed to 300 thousand participants. This month, Kadin again received a quota of 1 million doses to be distributed to 500 thousand participants. Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin said the government had high hopes for this program to accelerate vaccination. The reason is that the government needs to inject 208 million people to achieve community immunity. "But, in reality, the road is not as good as we think," said Budi. The speed of vaccination for this program is only 10-15 thousand doses per day. He noted that from the 1.5 million doses of Sinopharm vaccine available, only 300 thousand doses were distributed. The President of the Indonesian Trade Union Conference, Said Iqbal, also admitted that the mutual cooperation vaccination program was not yet optimal. He estimates that only about five percent of workers receive vaccines through this program. The high price of vaccines is one of the obstacles amid the company's declining revenue.
