More than 350 medical workers in Indonesia have caught COVID-19 despite being vaccinated, according to reports.

Dozens of health workers have been hospitalised in Central Java despite receiving the Sinovac vaccine.

The head of the Kudus district health office in Central Java, Badai Ismoyo, said dozens were in hospital “with high fevers and declining oxygen saturation levels,” the Reuters news agency reported. Kudus’ outbreak is believed to be driven by the Delta variant. Bed occupancy rates are above 90 percent in the district, Reuters reported.

File footage shows healthcare workers receive a dose of the Sinovac vaccine at Cipto Magunkusumo Hospital in Jakarta on January 14.

It has previously been reported that Sinovac is to make up about 40 percent of Indonesia’s vaccine supply as the company partners with state-owned PT Bio Farma to produce the shots locally.
