Focus on high-risk groups


PETALING JAYA: From next month, Malaysia will be offering third doses or booster shots to vulnerable groups, including healthcare frontliners and the elderly living with comorbidities. This, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, would help increase their immunity against the Covid-19 virus.

Administration of the booster shots will begin once the Covid-19 mass immunisation covers 80% of the adult population in the country, a target expected to be achieved in the days ahead.
