Indonesia's Food and Drug
Supervisory Agency (BPOM)
will start to upgrade the
distribution status of COVID-19
vaccines from emergency use to
regular distribution once the
national health emergency status
is lifted.

"This provision is to provide
protection guarantees to the
public in the long term," BPOM
head Penny Lukito said during a
mass vaccination in Bogor, West
Java, on Tuesday.

Lukito assured that all vaccine
products that are currently in
circulation meet the aspects of safety, quality, and effectiveness, as the BPOM regularly monitors
manufacturers.

According to her, to monitor their effectiveness, the vaccines have undergone a series of clinical trials
by the BPOM.

Every technology or platform developed by COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers currently holds
emergency-use authorization due to pandemic circumstances that require vaccination as protection.

The BPOM has regularly conducted supervision every three months to ensure the safety, quality, and
effectiveness of vaccines in public.

Meanwhile, manufacturers are involving researchers and experts to monitor any side effects that may
be caused by COVID-19 vaccines.
