PM: Frontliners, elderly to get booster shots once 80% of adults vaccinated


PETALING JAYA: The government has decided to offer Covid-19 vaccine booster shots to frontliners and the elderly to boost their protection, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

The administration of the booster shots for high-risk groups such as frontliners, the immunocompromised and the elderly with comorbidities will begin once the Covid-19 mass immunisation coverage has covered 80% of the adult population nationwide, he said.
