Indonesian Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin has said the country will begin giving Covid-19 booster shots to the general public from January 12, as the Omicron variant spreads in the country, Reuters reports
Health workers were given booster doses in July and the plan now is to cover all adults who took their second shots over six months ago. Some 21 million will be covered under the booster programme this month, Budi said.
"It has been decided by Mr President that [the programme] will begin on January 12," he said.
