Race to achieve vaccination target


PETALING JAYA: With about three weeks to go till the end of August, Putrajaya has paved the way to achieve its target of fully vaccinating 60% of Malaysia’s adult population, but more needs to be done to increase vaccination coverage in underserved areas and convince those who are vaccine hesitant, said public health experts.

Health experts also highlighted the problem that vaccination rates across the different states are not evenly distributed.
