Groups welcome move to expand plans for Covid-19

Safeguard: While the move by insurance firms has been welcomed, consumers are advised to read the terms and conditions carefully.

PETALING JAYA: The move to expand insurance coverage for Covid-19, including any side effect from vaccination, will make the public have more confidence in the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme, say consumer groups.

Welcoming the move, consumer activist Muhammad Sha’ani Abdullah called it an “added confidence boost” to the programme.
