A healthcare worker in personal protective equipment takes a swab sample from a person to test for COVID-19 during mass testing at a school in Jakarta, Indonesia, Jul 2, 2021. WASHINGTON: The United States will ship 4 million doses of Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine to Indonesia as it battles a coronavirus outbreak, the US national security adviser told the Indonesian foreign minister on Friday .

The two officials also discussed US plans to increase assistance for Indonesia’s broader COVID-19 response efforts, the statement said. Indonesia has relied mainly on the vaccine from China's Sinovac Biotech, but has been looking to diversify supply sources. The Biden administration pledged last month to share an initial 80 million US-made vaccines globally amid concern about the disparity in vaccination rates between advanced and developing countries.
