KUALA LUMPUR: The government is considering taking legal action against anti-vaccine groups in the country if they are found to be inciting public opinion against the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme.

Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin also said the government had asked the Covid-19 Vaccine Supply Access Guarantee Special Committee to study the possibility of making vaccinations compulsory for all if the number of those registered in the programme was still far below what was needed to achieve herd immunity.
