‘Keep your date for vaccination!’


KUALA LUMPUR: The failure of many individuals to keep to their Covid-19 vaccination appointments without any solid reason is disrupting the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme’s target and delaying the process of achieving herd immunity in the country, says Assoc Prof Dr Yahya Mat Arip, a virologist from Universiti Sains Malaysia.

Malaysia aims to achieve herd immunity against Covid-19 by having at least 70% of its population vaccinated by the end of the year.
