The eastern city of Jiaxin's center for disease control and prevention said in a statement on WeChat that two doses of the vaccine candidate, called CoronaVac, will cost 200 yuan per dose and that vaccinations for key groups including medical professionals have begun. Bio Farma, a state-owned firm in Indonesia which has reached a deal for at least 40 million doses from Sinovac, said this week the vaccine will cost around 200,000 rupiah per dose when it becomes available in the southeast Asian country.
