In many places, the elderly and most vulnerable are among the first to be vaccinated against Covid-19, but the Indonesian government has decided to prioritise giving the vaccine to social influencers - to persuade younger people to do the same - and working-aged people between the ages of 18 and 60. They believe this will allow people to go out to work, and also reduce the spread of infection to elder relatives.
