PETALING JAYA: Before deciding on whether to make Covid-19 vaccinations mandatory, health experts and former health ministers urged the government to first look into vaccinating those who are already in the programme and to also educate the public on its benefits.
Former health minister Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam said that under the National Immunisation Programme (NIP) that has been established since independence, vaccinations for numerous other diseases such as polio, measles, diphtheria, tetanus and others have been on a voluntary basis.
