Abstract

Vaccine is reserved for every citizen, whether they are urban or rural communities and even indigenous peoples, those who live isolated. Meanwhile, Covid-19 is a pandemic that hit all human societies, breaking through national, regional, socio-economic strata, and other boundaries. This means that everyone has the potential to be infected by the disease. The State has made various efforts to fight the Covid-19 pandemic and has even done vaccination program since January 2021 to create herd immunity. Vaccine recipients are targeted at 181 million or 70 percent of the entire population for the creation of herd immunity. The fact, however, is that the number of vaccines available is very limited so that there needs to be strict regulation in implementing the program. In a situation like this, usually those in big cities and close to the Central Government will be prioritized while those on the outskirts, including indigenous peoples, will be in a low priority scale. There are many reasons why indigenous peoples are forgotten, among others, difficult access due to distance, territory, exclusivity, customs and beliefs. In fact, in modern era, indigeneous communities and their territories are increasingly open to association with the general public so that the potential for infection remains high. The problem is the extent to which the State has applied the principle of distributive justice to indigenous peoples in vaccination programs in order to create healthy communities.
