Indonesia kicks off COVID-19 vaccination for adolescents aged 12 to 17

A health worker prepares to administer the COVID-19 vaccine to a girl in Jakarta, Indonesia, on July 1, 2021. Indonesia's Health Ministry on Thursday launched the mass COVID-19 vaccination for children of 12 to 17 years old as the national capital held its first mass inoculation for adolescents. Children at the age of 12 to 17 years old are eligible to get Sinovac vaccine jabs after the country's National Agency of Drug and Food Control issued the emergency use authorization last Sunday.
