Covid-19 Watch: Vaccinating your kids is a choice but it's better for them if you decide on it, says Khairy

By JOSEPH KAOS JR

KUALA LUMPUR: Parents will not be forced to vaccinate their children against Covid-19 as the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme for Kids (PICKids) is voluntary, says Khairy Jamaluddin.

The Health Minister said the ministry wanted to ensure that parents make an informed decision when choosing to allow their children to receive Covid-19 jabs.
