THE news that the government is planning to distribute booster shots next year has been met with a sigh of relief by 31-year-old Dimas Tri Suseno, who, along with his wife, have recovered after contracting Covid-19 in June.

Dimas, who works as a civil servant, said he welcomed the idea of an additional dose of vaccine after he and his wife contracted the disease despite already being fully inoculated, adding that the booster would be an additional safeguard against the potential third wave of infection in the country.
