PETALING JAYA: The Prime Minister’s goal of achieving 400, 000 vaccinations a day by August is realistic – if issues of supply and red tape are addressed, according to medical experts.

Medical Practitioners Coalition Association of Malaysia president Dr Raj Kumar Maharajah said the current vaccination process will run much smoother if it is not impeded by a shortage in vaccine supply.
