Khairy: Vaccine effective as none of the nine healthcare workers infected had severe or mild symptoms


PETALING JAYA: The effectiveness of the Covid-19 vaccines is evident from the fact that none of the nine healthcare workers, who tested positive for the virus more than two weeks after receiving their second dose, exhibited severe or even mild symptoms, says Khairy Jamaluddin.

The coordinating minister for the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme said that these nine recipients contracting the virus out of 272,019 fully vaccinated healthcare workers worked out to a mere 0.003% infection rate.
