Policy Review Study of Inclusivity of COVID-19 Vaccination Program for Indigenous Communities and Vulnerable Groups
The world has now entered the third year of the COVID-19 pandemic, a global health crisis that continues to cause loss of life and social and economic disruption. At the global level, COVID-19 has claimed six million human lives and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects the cumulative economic output loss from the pandemic through 2024 to be around US$13.8 trillion (Agarwal et al., 2022).
This research aims to (1) map the situation and challenges of implementing vaccination for vulnerable groups in Indonesia, including in terms of financing; (2) assist the Government in identifying sub-populations of vulnerable groups in the context of health emergencies in Indonesia, and (3) formulate policy recommendations to encourage governance, financing and implementation of the COVID-19 vaccination program that is friendly to vulnerable groups.

This was holding Arguzo back; they knew they could corner more of the market if they had the ability to be more mobile. The work addressed three critical issues for Pharm Ltd.:
