JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/Asia News Network): Indonesia's successful Covid-19 vaccination campaign has become a model for the rest of the world.

Today around 98.5 per cent of Indonesians have antibodies against the virus due either to vaccination or past infection. Nearly 100 per cent of eligible Indonesians have received at least one vaccine dose, and 80 per cent at least two, according to the Vaccine Alliance (Gavi), a group that works to promote equitable global access to vaccination.
