KUALA LUMPUR: The government has decided to increase the National Trust Fund (KWAN) allocation to RM6 billion from RM5 billion previously to ensure a sufficient supply of vaccines, including booster doses, for not only the adult population but also teenagers.

Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz said based on the current assessment, it is critical for everyone to be given a booster dose especially with the emergence of the Omicron variant.
