Covid-19: 'Jab first, register later' method only for rural folks, but health experts urge for nationwide expansion


PETALING JAYA: The "jab first, register later” approach whereby people can walk into Covid-19 vaccine dispensing centres (PPV) for a jab before even registering is only for rural dwellers, says the Health Ministry.

Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba said the walk-in vaccination service is special for those living in the interior areas, who do not use smartphones or the MySejahtera app.
