Indonesia's only vaccine production company recruits 1,620 volunteers to test a potential coronavirus vaccine developed by a Chinese company in so-called phase 3 clinical trials.

In some areas of the country, students are still yet to go to school due to the coronavirus.
The Indonesian government announced the partnership between state-owned enterprise Bio Farma and the Chinese company Sinovac BioTech in early July. As part of the deal, Indonesia recruited 1,620 volunteers for the trial. The first 20 were injected with the candidate vaccine in Bandung, West Java province, on Tuesday, and more followed suit.
Clinical trial research leader Kusnandi Rusmil told The Associated Press that half the volunteers will be injected by the vaccine and the other half with the placebo. “We will see the comparison ... in seven months,” Rusmil said.
