Article Summary
Bio Farma as a Pharmaceutical BUMN Holding, supported the government’s steps and efforts in strengthening health infrastructure, one of which is through the independence of the Covid-19 vaccine. This concrete step is realized by Bio Farma through its success in producing the IndoVac Vaccine which was officially launched by President Joko Widodo.
Bio Farma cooperates with seven medical faculties; namely from the University of Indonesia, Diponegoro University, Andalas University, and Hasanuddin University to carry out primary dose clinical trials, and Padjadjaran University and Udayana University for booster dose clinical trials. Three medical faculties, namely Gadjah Mada University, University of Indonesia, and Andalas University, are the centers for clinical trials of the IndoVac vaccine for children aged 12-17 years.
The IndoVac vaccine for primary vaccination (dose 1 & 2) for adults (18+) received an emergency use authorization (EUA) or emergency Agency Supervisory Drugs and Food (BPOM) on 28 September 2022. Bio Farma has started commercial production of drug substances (DS) and drug products (DP). In addition, this Pharmaceutical BUMN Holding is currently registering an emergency use listing (EUL) with the World Health Organization (WHO) so that it can be exported to various countries, especially lower-middle-income countries.
Based on recombinant protein subunit technology, IndoVac is a COVID-19 vaccine that is given as an active immunisation against COVID-19, which is brought on by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Additionally, IndoVac has received a halal fatwa, MUI, and a halal certificate from BPJPH, the Ministry of Religion. It is a local product with a domestic content level (TKDN) of about 90% that was developed by the country’s youth.
