MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 09th June, 2021) Indonesia is determined to increase the pace of its COVID-19 vaccination campaign to 1 million people per day in July, Indonesian news agency Antara reported on Wednesday, citing President Joko Widodo.
According to the report, Widodo said in a virtual press briefing that the country is able to reach 700,000 vaccinated people per day in June and increase the figure to 1 million people per day in July.
The Indonesian president reportedly made the statement after visiting a vaccination center in the southern city of Depok, which also has a drive-through service.
About 10,000 people have received their COVID-19 shots at that center, including educators, senior citizens and public service workers, according to the report.
