COVID-19: Indonesia begins massive vaccine rollout

It is the fourth most populous country on the planet and is hoping to inject more than 181 million people this year.

The vaccination drive started this week using CoronaVac, a jab from Chinese manufacturer Sinovac Biotech.

But the nation, which has the highest number of coronavirus deaths and infections in southeast Asia, is reversing the trend by inoculating under 60s first.
