JOHOR BARU: Johor’s Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar has expressed disappointment with the slow rate of Covid-19 vaccinations in the state.

With only 10% of the state’s 3.78 million population having received their vaccines to date through the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme, His Majesty appeals to the Federal Government to step up the national vaccination drive and secure more vaccine supplies, including for Johor.
