‘Ramp up inoculation drive’


PETALING JAYA: With or without a minister, the pace of the Covid-19 vaccination programme has to be ramped up as there are states complaining that they do not have enough vaccines, said Malaysian Public Health Physicians’ Association president Datuk Dr Zainal Ariffin Omar.

“We should be increasing our coverage as much as possible from 60%, even up to 90%, in a short time frame. This is very important and critical for pandemic control,” he said when contacted.
