KOTA KINABALU: The Federal Government and Sabah are cross-checking its vaccination rate data, as it believes its adult vaccination rate is higher than what the current statistics show.

State Community Development and People’s Wellbeing Minister Datuk Shahelmey Yahya, who is the state immunisation programme operations director, said this is probably due to a number of the population who had moved out of the state and gotten their vaccinations elsewhere.
