Covid-19: Economic frontliners to receive jabs in second phase, says Khairy


SHAH ALAM: People who are considered as economic frontliners will be the additional group included in the second phase of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme.

Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said the addition in phase two, which was initially intended only for senior citizens aged 60 and above as well as high-risk groups, is due to the low number of registrations for the vaccines.
