JAKARTA - Throughout her life, Dewi, an Indonesian mother of two, has turned to herbs and traditional medicine whenever she fell ill.
Over the past few months, she had refused to be vaccinated against Covid-19 because of what she read on social media about the purported side effects, including skin problems and death.
Lately, though, she has had a change of heart as many people she knows have contracted the disease and some have died. She is also well aware of the scarcity of hospital beds, medicines and oxygen.
Dewi, along with her husband and younger daughter, is now listed among the 1,000 people due to be vaccinated at a nearby hospital in Sidoarjo, East Java.
