The event, scheduled to begin at 9.30am, will be broadcast live on national television.

The public can also access the handbook through a website that will be launched simultaneously.

The handbook contains information on the types of Covid-19 vaccines used by the government, the facilities provided to store them, and religious views on the vaccination and immunisation guidelines, among others.

According to an infographic by the Special Committee on Covid-19 Vaccine Supply Access Guarantee (JKJAV), the immunisation plan encompasses four main components – vaccine supply, vaccination phase target group, location and method of implementation, and the workforce involved in the implementation of the immunisation programme.

The programme will roll out in three phases starting at the end of this month, targeting 80% of the population, or 26.5 million recipients, who will be inoculated for free.

Registration for vaccination is expected to kick off in March and will be on a voluntary basis.
