GPs involvement in vaccination exercise is based on current needs, says CITF


KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The involvement of private general practitioners (GPs) in administering Covid-19 vaccines is based on current needs to ensure continuity of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (PICK).

The Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force (CITF) said the operation to boost vaccination capacity that sought to control the Covid-19 outbreak in relevant areas was carried out from July 26 to Aug 1, which had led to its decision to reduce the number of vaccination centres (PPVs) in Klang Valley, including the participation of GPs.
