Senior citizens prefer AstraZeneca


PETALING JAYA: Senior citizens have urged the government to offer the AstraZeneca vaccine to them first instead of opening it up to the general population, considering that they are in the high-risk group.

However, Malaysians who will only be entitled to receive the vaccine under phase three of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme welcomed the government’s decision, noting that it would speed up the vaccination process.
