Jabs allocation to be increased to ensure supply is enough


KUALA LUMPUR: The National Trust Fund (KWAN) allocation will be increased to RM6bil from RM5bil previously to ensure a sufficient supply of vaccines, including booster doses, for not only the adult population but also teenagers, says Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz (pic).

Based on the current assessment, it is critical for everyone to be given a booster dose, especially with the emergence of the Omicron variant.
