PETALING JAYA: The Bukit Jalil vaccination centre (PPV) that opens today is expected to boost Malaysia’s vaccination rate by 10,000 per day.

This mega PPV and others like it that opened earlier this month – at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, Axiata Arena Bukit Jalil, Setia City Convention Centre and UiTM Puncak Alam – have a combined daily capacity of serving 23,000 people, which would accelerate the government’s Covid-19 immunisation drive.
