Experts: Fear leads to overcrowding at PPV centres

KUALA LUMPUR: The high number of people turning up at vaccine dispensing centres (PPV) to “try their luck” boils down to a fear of missing out on the vaccination amid their anxiety over the rising number of Covid-19 cases, say public health experts.

“This is real in many places, ” said Malaysian Public Health Physicians Association president Datuk Dr Zainal Ariffin Omar(pic), referring to the large crowds at the four centres in the Klang Valley.
