    Indonesia green-lights emergency use of Chinese vaccine

    Griffith University epidemiologist Dr. Dicky Budiman said, "Many people have questioned and expressed doubt about the vaccine, as the data Indonesia used for emergency authorization is only preliminary."

    "Research into the vaccine is not completed yet and will still take some time," he added.
