"We've already calculated how many children aged six-years-old and below who need the vaccines and when the vaccines can be sent to Indonesia. Based on that, we estimate that the jabs can start in the second quarter," Spokeswoman of Indonesia's Health Ministry, Siti Nadia Tarmizi.
More than 204 million people across the country have received the first vaccine dose, more than 175 million have received the second dose, and 69 million received the third dose, according to data from the Ministry.

Around 1.2 million elderly and people who work in healthcare sectors have been prioritized to receive the fourth dose or the second booster vaccine.
