We can hit herd immunity by December, says Adham


PETALING JAYA: Malaysia has ordered enough vaccines to cover 109% of its population who qualify for inoculation, with the aim of achieving herd immunity against Covid-19 by December, says Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba (pic).

With steady and fast deliveries of all three approved vaccines – from Pfizer-BioNTech, Sinovac and AstraZeneca – starting this month, the nation would be able to inoculate 80% of its population by December, he added.
