The National Police announced on Tuesday that according to their ongoing investigation 14 health facilities have been using fake vaccines.

"We have obtained a permission from the police's criminal investigations unit to announce the names," Health Minister Nila Moeloek told lawmakers from the House's Commission IX, which oversees health and manpower affairs.

According to the document released by the ministry, the names of the 14 hospitals and their locations are:
