BUTTERWORTH: Without the chance to walk in for booster jabs, the vaccination rate in Penang has slowed somewhat.

A doctor working in the Tapak Ekspo Seberang Jaya vaccination centre (PPV) – one of the largest in the state – said on average, between 350 and 400 people were walking in daily to get their booster jabs.
