Bio Farma sends anti cholera vaccine

BANDUNG: Bio Farma drug company will start sending anticholera vaccines to Aceh as well as opening on Thursday an immunization and vaccination clinic in Banda Aceh.

Head of public relations at Bio Farma Elvyn Fajrul, said the company would send 2,000 doses of Chotypa to fight cholera and typhus.

"Volunteers will get first priority because most of the residents there are already sick, and if we inject them with the vaccine it will cause other diseases. The vaccine should be given to healthy people, not to tired or sick people," Elvyn said. -- JP
