Shortages delay Phase Three

KUALA LUMPUR: With the AstraZeneca vaccine opt-in exercise off to a smooth start, Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin says Phase Three of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme, which is set to start this month, may be delayed.

Khairy, who is also the programme’s coordinating minister, said a lack of vaccine supplies in the country currently could lead to a delay in the vaccination plan.
