Indonesian trials of a China-backed coronavirus vaccine have produced 'no significant side effects' so far, boosting the country's hope of producing 250 million doses next year from as early as January | jamesmassola ayu_2003

Indonesian trials of a China-backed coronavirus vaccine have produced "no significant side effects" so far, boosting the country's hope of producing 250 million doses next year from as early as January.

The CoronaVac vaccine is being developed in partnership with Indonesian state-owned pharmaceuticals company PT Bio Farma. It is just one example of China's so-called vaccine diplomacy, which has seen the country offer assistance, loans and free doses of the prospective immunisation to countries in south-east Asia, Europe and Latin America.

At the time, President Joko Widodo said the threat of COVID-19 would not subside until a vaccine was deployed and that "hopefully in January, we can produce and vaccinate everyone in the country". Sinovac has also received emergency approval to administer CoronaVac to some high-risk groups in China, according to Reuters.But Budiman, the epidemiologist, suggested the national government was placing too much faith in the vaccine ending the pandemic and not doing enough to enforce social distancing, mask wearing and to ramp up testing across the country.
