Indonesia has made it mandatory for eligible citizens to take a shot.

It plans to vaccinate 70 million people by August, roughly a third of the total target of 181.5 million for the public campaign.

The Grab vaccine centre in Bali is prepared to dispense 840 shots a day, for a total of 5,000 vaccinations in a week, the company said in a statement. The first centre plans to vaccinate 2,500 drivers in the transportation sector, including Grab drivers and delivery-partners and 2,500 public sector workers in tourism in Bali.

According the President of Grab Indonesia Ridzki Kramadibrata, the vaccination drive-thru service will eventually make its way to other cities in the archipelago. Depending on the results of the first vaccination center, Grab and the Health Ministry will consider expanding the partnership to other cities in Indonesia. We will soon bring this drive-thru service to other cities says Ridzki.
