KUALA LUMPUR: The acceptance rate of the Covid-19 vaccine booster dose has been rated good, but the majority of recipients chose to take a booster dose of the same vaccine (homologous) with the primary dose, said Deputy Health Minister Datuk Dr Noor Azmi Ghazali.
He said based on a questionnaire entitled 'Perceptions of Booster Dosage among the Malaysian Population (Inception - B)' by the Clinical Research Institute on Oct 15-26, 76.2 per cent of respondents agreed to take a booster dose and of the total, only 39.9 per cent agreed to a different (heterologous) type of vaccine with primary dose.
