To turn the tide against the pandemic, Indonesia will vaccinate 181.5 million people, improve public health systems, tighten diagnostic and surveillance protocols to reduce transmission, and strengthen therapeutic and treatment facilities for those infected, said Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin during the Asian Development Bank's Southeast Asia Development Symposium (SEADS) 2021.
