State Capacity in Implementing the Covid-19 Vaccination Program in Indonesia

Abstract

The threat of the Covid-19 pandemic has pushed every country to protect its citizens; one form of protection is implementing the Covid-19 vaccination program. The study aims to explore the state's capacity in implementing the vaccination program. The study uses the literature review method, sourced from scientific journals, books, and other information sources. The study results show that the state capacity in implementing the vaccination program is classified as good in the dimensions of operational capability, budgetary capacity, institutional capacity, and analytical capacity. Although the size of operational capacity, the obstacle of vaccine procurement causes vaccination targets not to be achieved. The cold chain is insufficient in some areas, including the slow distribution of vaccines due to geographic constraints on the dimension of institutional capacity.
