Why the Fine and Will It Work?
The fine is a last resort aimed at making people comply with the national regulations on mandatory inoculations, according to Jakarta Deputy Governor Ahmad Riza Patria.
The announcement followed a presidential order earlier this month which said anyone who refuses vaccination could be denied social assistance, access to government services or be fined. It was left up to local authorities to define the exact penalties.
But health experts said Jakarta should consider public education, or other incentives, before imposing fines. Indonesia should have this approach and not jump into the last option, which is coercive, said Febi Dwirahmadi, an Indonesian expert on global health who teaches at Australia s Griffith University, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
