PETALING JAYA: While mega vaccination centres will help ramp up inoculation rates, more general practitioner (GP) clinics need to be roped in for the National Immunisation Programme, say health experts.

Universiti Malaya occupational and public health expert Prof Dr Victor Hoe said the mega vaccination centres were to “centralise the vaccination process and minimise logistics issues”.
