PETALING JAYA: The government should focus on achieving herd immunity among the Malaysian population before it decides on procuring any booster shots for Covid-19 innoculation plan, say health experts.

Prof Dr Moy Foong Ming, of Universiti Malaya’s Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, said seeing that there was no evidence yet on how long the immunity from the two-dose regimen lasts, studies must be conducted to ascertain the status of antibody concentration after the double dose of the Covid-19 vaccine.
