KUALA LUMPUR: The National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme will be beefed up with the aim of getting all Malaysian adults to receive two Covid-19 vaccine doses by October, says Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

Muhyiddin, who was briefing Parliament on the National Recovery Plan yesterday, said initial estimates by the government were that 80% of adult residents in Malaysia would receive the complete vaccination dosage by the first quarter of 2022.
