JKJAV studying need for third booster shot of Covid-19 vaccines, says Khairy

PETALING JAYA: The Special Committee on Covid-19 Vaccine Supply (JKJAV) will study data on how long vaccines can provide protection against the coronavirus as it prepares to procure more supplies for next year, says Khairy Jamaluddin.

The National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme coordinating minister said the committee is gearing up to procure more vaccines as other developed countries are also mulling the need for a third booster shot especially with the emergence of the more resistant and transmissible Delta variant.
