Batam - The Indonesian government will begin distributing 1 million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine at an early stage. The distribution process will be carried out from the central government to local governments.

Acting Governor of the Riau Islands Bahtiar Baharudin said that until now the distribution flow and quotas for the Riau Islands were not yet known.

 "Vaccination is a national policy, the government is assigned with securing national policies," said Bahtiar in Batam, Wednesday (11/18/2020).

So far, his party has waited for directions from the Central Government of preparations that can be made using the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD).

Regional leaders can do refocusing and budget relocation if it is related to Covid-19.

"If the vaccine is distributed in 2021, then it can use the APBD to launch it," he said.

Also, in using the APBD for vaccines, Bahtiar said he was waiting for technical guidance from the center.
