Abstract

The global COVID-19 vaccination has been marred by the problem of inequity. Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including Indonesia, must overcome global and local barriers to provide doses to their population. Due to a lack of domestic R&D capability, Indonesia relied on global vaccine producers that are subject to the whims of their own governments. Ensuring equitable access domestically was also a challenge as public sector resources were limited. Using the four dimensions of vaccine access to examine Indonesiaʼs COVID-19 inoculation campaign reveals gaps in the governmentʼs perception of vaccination inequity. While the administration fervently advocates for global vaccination equity, local barriers received minimal attention. Indonesiaʼs case highlights how domestic political dynamics can stymie a global effort and that resolving vaccination inequity requires lowering both global and local barriers. Finally, LMICs should also consider including private sector resources in their pandemic response to complement their limited public sector resources.

印度尼西亚 COVID-19 疫苗接种的政治经济学

全球 COVID-19 疫苗接种一直受到不公平问题的困扰。包括印度尼西亚在内的中低收入国家（LMICs）必须克服全球和地方障碍才能为本国人口提供疫苗。由于缺乏国内研发能力，印尼依赖于全球疫苗生产商，而这些生产商却受制于本国政府的意志。由于公共部门资源有限，确保国内公平获得疫苗也是一项挑战。利用疫苗接种的四个维度来审视印尼的 COVID-19 接种活动，可以发现政府对疫苗接种不公平的认识存在差距。虽然政府大力倡导全球疫苗接种公平性，但当地的障碍却很少受到关注。印度尼西亚的案例凸显了国内政治动态如何阻碍全球努力，以及解决疫苗接种不公平问题需要同时降低全球和地方障碍。最后，低收入和中等收入国家也应考虑将私营部门资源纳入大流行病应对措施，以补充其有限的公共部门资源。
