GEORGE TOWN: Despite a target 1.3 million people or 70% of its population, the Penang government is seeing less than 1% of the number being vaccinated daily.

Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said the slow process of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme could be due to insufficient vaccines and the low number of vaccination centres in the state.
