While in terms of selecting a distributor, Bio Farma is not the origin selected. There are a number of requirements that must be met. Not only in terms of the legality of the company, but also must meet the selection criteria as well as technical administration.
In Indonesia there are 5 authorized distributors appointed to distribute Bio Farma vaccine production to the private sector, namely PT Indofarma Global Medika, PT Rajawali Nusindo, PT Merapi Utama Pharma PT Sagi Capri and Trade Company PT Indonesia (specifically the winning bidder).
As for the government sector, the distribution of Bio Farma vaccine directly through the provincial health authorities are directly channeled to health districts / cities and ends at the health center or neighborhood health center.
