PETALING JAYA: Crowds at several vaccination centres (PPV) in the Klang Valley violated the SOP for physical distancing, as many tried to take advantage of the walk-in process for the Covid-19 booster shot.

Social media platforms were abuzz since yesterday morning with updates and questions on which PPV was crowded or whether a certain make of vaccine was still available for walk-in.
