KUALA LUMPUR: Concerns about overcrowding at vaccination centres (PPV) are growing after images and videos of long queues and large crowds involving foreigners emerged on social media.

Health experts said although it was necessary to vaccinate as many people, including foreigners, as quickly as possible, the authorities must work together and be more prepared to control such a situation.Universiti Malaya professor of occupational and public health Prof Dr Victor Hoe said such incidents should not be allowed to recur.
