Covid-19: Second phase of national immunisation programme brought forward to April 17


PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): The second phase of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme will start on April 17 instead of April 19 as previously announced, says Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba.

The Health Minister said the registration campaign needed to be intensified as people aged 60 and above and individuals with comorbidities made up only 30% of the seven million people who had registered through the MySejahtera application.
