PETALING JAYA: Despite vast inequality in the global Covid-19 vaccine distribution which slowed the delivery of doses to Malaysia in the initial months of its inoculation drive, Malaysia’s mass immunisation rate is now among the world’s fastest, says Khairy Jamaluddin.

As of Saturday, Malaysia, which has a population of 32 million, had given a total of 16,904,896 jabs since March.
