PETALING JAYA: With Covid-19 cases and deaths surging among the young, health experts are urging parents not to delay inoculating their children when the rollout begins this month for those aged 12 to 17.

Universiti Malaya public health medicine specialist Prof Dr Victor Hoe said as new research had shown that Covid-19 vaccines were safe for children, the aim should be to vaccinate as many people in the population as possible.
