PETALING JAYA: Those aged 60 and above in the Klang Valley, Johor, Penang and Sarawak will be prioritised in the second round of opt-in for the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine, which will be opened for registration on May 23, says Khairy Jamaluddin.

The coordinating minister for the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme said the three states outside of the Klang Valley that had been included in the second round were in the red zone category and had been recording a high number of Covid-19 cases daily.
