JAKARTA—Indonesia will start administering COVID-19 vaccinations for children aged between 6–11 on Tuesday, a health ministry official said, as the Southeast Asian country becomes one of the first in the region to inoculate the very young.
Indonesia approved China’s Sinovac Biotech vaccine for the age group last month and about 26.5 million children have been targeted for vaccination, Maxi Rein Rondonuwu, a senior health ministry official, told a briefing.
